Landlord/Tenant - Eviction Proceedings
An eviction is a legal process to remove someone from a residential
or commercial property. In most situations an eviction requires
the involvement of the courts. If a landlord wishes to evict
a tenant, the landlord must follow the very strict procedural
rules of the state and, if in a rent controlled market, the city.
How a real estated attorney can help
A real estate attorney will help you identify the law that applies to your
landlord-tenant relationship and guide you to a beneficial result. A real estate
attorney will also be able to review the terms of a lease and help you understand
the conditions and covenants you must adhere to. Additionally, a real estate
attorney can help you take legal action if there are defects on the premises
or if you must deal with an eviction. A real estate attorney is familiar
with the court system, the procedures, and state and local law; and knows how
to proceed as quickly as possible with an eviction.
