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.
