eviction process

The eviction process is a legal procedure landlords use to remove tenants from rental properties. It typically begins when a landlord issues a formal notice to the tenant, stating reasons for eviction, such as non-payment of rent or lease violations. If the issue isn't resolved, the landlord files an eviction lawsuit in court. A hearing is held where both parties present their cases. If the court rules in favor of the landlord, a judgment is issued, allowing authorities to remove the tenant. Tenants can sometimes appeal or negotiate, but the process generally follows strict legal guidelines.
