What Are the Necessary Steps to Evict a Tenant?
The required steps, forms to use, and time limits to eviction depend on the regulations where your property is located. In general the eviction process includes:
- Written eviction notice delivered to the tenant.
- Tenant has opportunity to correct problem within a set time.
- Lawsuit to evict filed.
- Legal documents delivered to tenant.
- Tenant has chance to respond within set time limit.
- Court rules whether tenant can be evicted.
- Landlord takes court order to sheriff, who posts notice to tenant (usually on their door) explaining they must move and the date by when that must happen.
- Sheriff can remove belongings if tenant does not move (only the sheriff can do this!).
