Unlawful Detainer
Definition:
An unlawful detainer is a legal way to evict someone from where
they live. An unlawful detainer is usually used when a
tenant stays even after the lease is over or cancelled. Unlawful detainers
decide whether or not the landlord can take the property back from the tenant.
Consequences of Unlawful Detainers:
The unlawful detainer process is complicated. Possibilities for negotiations come up in the process. A tenant only has 5 days to respond to an unlawful detainer summons or complaint. This means it is better to get started on your case as soon as possible. Unless a tenant responds in these 5 days, they can be evicted.What a Lawyer can do for you:
Unlawful detainer cases are complicated. Speaking to an unlawful detainer lawyer can inform you of all your rights. Unlawful detainers are associated with criminal proceedings, rather than real estate transactions. A landlord/tenant lawyer challenges eviction proceedings and help tenants stay in their homes. They build persuasive cases to help protect your rights.Lawyer Referral Service:
