Eviction Processes

Eviction is the legal process by which a landlord removes a tenant from a rental property. It typically begins when a tenant violates lease terms or fails to pay rent. The landlord must follow state-specific steps, usually including providing written notice (like a “pay or quit” notice), waiting for a response, and then filing a formal eviction lawsuit in court if unpaid rent or violations aren’t resolved. If the court rules in favor of the landlord, an eviction order is issued, and law enforcement can remove the tenant. This process ensures legal rights are protected for both parties.
