Eviction Notice
Definition:
An eviction notice is given by a landlord to a tenant as a notice of ending the tenancy. It is a fast process which must be executed properly by the landlord. The types of eviction notice a landlord could give to a tenant are:
- Non-payment of rent - the tenant doesn't pay the rent when due and the landlord usually gives 3-5 days for the tenant to pay the rent along with late fees. If the tenant does not pay, they could be given an eviction notice
- Fixing a violation - the landlord gives the tenant time to fix something they have violated, such as a pet forbidden by the lease or a car in the front yard causing problems. If the tenant does not correct the issue in the time allotted, they could get an eviction notice.
- Unconditional notice - the tenant has seriously violated the lease agreements and the landlord does not give the possibility of correcting problems.
- 30 or 60 day notices - given by the landlord without giving any reason.
Consequences of Eviction Notices:
The tenant has to answer after getting the eviction notice. It is up to the tenant to raise defenses to use against the landlord. The tenant should then file their answer with the court. If the tenant has a valid defense, the case will be set for a hearing in court and which can take a couple of months. If the tenant has no valid defense, the eviction notice procedure lasts a couple of weeks.What a Lawyer can do for you:
