In the event that the lessee violates terms of the lease, the lessor, otherwise known as landlord, can legally evict the lessee. According to tenant's rights, the lessee must first act in violation of the lease agreement - overstaying lease, not paying for rent, or damaging property - in order to file with the court to evict the tenant. If a violation has occurred, the landlord can begin by offering a 3 day notice to the tenant, after which an eviction claim can be filed with a local court. A hearing will then take place to validate the claim to evict. When the eviction has passed through court, the tenant is removed from the property alongside their possessions. If necessary, authorities might be used to force tenants to evict.
