Are you being evicted? Did your landlord say you must leave? If so, there are things you should know. Landlords are not above the law. In order to evict someone, they must follow the law.
Below are some of the most often asked questions about evictions.
What is an Eviction?
An eviction is a court process a landlord uses to remove a tenant renting a room, apartment, house, or mobile home.
What can the landlord evict me for?
You can be evicted for the following things:
If your rent is legally increased and you receive a 3-day or 5-day notice to pay or vacate after failing to pay the increased amount, you must pay the increase – and all late fees imposed by a written agreement – or you risk being evicted. Once the 3- or 5-calendar day period has expired, you lose the right to cure the default (by paying). The landlord can evict you.
If you will be away from your rental unit for a long period of time, it is a good idea to tell your landlord. If you do not tell the landlord, they may assume you moved and abandoned the unit. Anything left in the unit could then be considered abandoned as well. Getting back any personal property you left behind may be difficult.
