The
Eviction Process
Evictions, with a few
exceptions, start with a notice of some sort,
giving the tenant an opportunity to do certain
things or move, or simply to move within a
limited time. It is this notice that places the
tenant in the position of wrongfully withholding
possession of the rental unit from the owner and
gives the law the authority to come to the
owner’s aid.
Eviction notices
can be divided into two groups:
1. Non-payment
of Rent Notices-most of which the tenant must
pay or vacate the premises. These are the most
common eviction notices used.
2. Conditional
or Unconditional Quit or Vacate Notices that
either demand possession within a limited time
out right or give the tenant an opportunity to
perform some acts (correct or cure), other than
pay rent, or vacate, at its option.
Notices,
where required, are essential to obtaining an
order for dispossession. An eviction without a
proper notice is a violation of due process of
law.
Eviction is a huge
expense. Do everything you can to avoid it. If
you cannot avoid it, do all that is necessary to
get it over with fast.
