Eviction Court

Eviction court proceedings are the final step that must be completed in order to evict a tenant. After determining an unlawful violation of lease and issuing notice to the tenant, landlords must wait for the notice period to expire, after which the case becomes eligible to be filed in eviction court. The case will be called in for a hearing, where, as either a landlord or tenant, each party will need to provide evidence for their side of the case. Following the court hearing, a judgment will be delivered. If the judgment is in favor of the landlord, a writ of promise will be issued, legally allowing the landlord to remove the tenant and belongings from the premises. An additional case may also be necessary if the landlord aims to sue and recover financial damages.
