Possession Proceedings

Possession proceedings are legal processes used to determine who has the right to occupy a property, typically when a tenant or occupant refuses to leave after their lease ends or when they are occupying without permission. The landlord or property owner initiates this process to formally recover possession of the property. It involves serving legal notices, and if the occupant does not vacate, applying to the court for an order to remove them. These proceedings ensure a lawful and official way to resolve disputes over property occupancy, balancing property rights with legal procedures.
