Housing Eviction

The housing eviction process varies by state, and the procedures that one might need to follow in one location may not be the same procedures used to evict someone in another location. The type of housing and even the tenants physical or mental condition may also affect the eviction process. For example, disabled or elderly tenants, tenants who reside in public or federally subsidized housing, and tenants who are on Section 8 or another rental assistance program may have more legal rights and protections when it comes to housing eviction. Most evictions arise due to nonpayment of rent or other lease violations, and can often be settled by correcting the violation or paying the owed rent. If an eviction hearing arises, a tenant will have an opportunity to make their case in court to avoid eviction. America's subprime mortgage crisis has led to an increase in housing evictions, with many renters being evicted from foreclosed homes through no fault of their own, despite making timely rent payments.
