Eviction Laws

Eviction laws govern the process by which a landlord can remove a tenant from a rental property. Typically, a landlord must provide a valid reason, such as non-payment of rent or lease violations, and follow specific legal procedures. This often involves giving the tenant written notice and, if necessary, filing a court case. The landlord cannot forcibly remove the tenant without a court order. Tenants have rights and can often contest evictions. Understanding local laws is crucial, as regulations vary by state and city. Proper adherence to these laws ensures a fair process for both parties.
