Eviction

A landlord may not evict a tenant without a court order. The landlord may begin eviction proceedings if a tenant:

  • Damages property.
  • Fails to pay rent.
  • Violates terms of the lease.
  • Injures the lessor or another tenant.
  • Allows drug-related criminal activity on the premises.
  • Fails to vacate at the end of the lease term.
  • Gambles illegally on the property.

The tenant will receive a notice that an eviction lawsuit has been filed and will have the opportunity to be heard in court before any eviction.
