Resources Housing code checklist Home Evictions Always remember, the only person who can evict you from your apartment is a judge. No matter what a landlord or their lawyer says, all landlords must go to court and obtain permission from a judge in order to evict you. Don't let your landlord intimidate you into leaving until you have had your day in court.
Eviction is a long and expensive process.
If there is a chance that mediation can solve the problem before it has to go to court, then you should strongly consider that option. If you receive an eviction notice and you want to stay in your apartment, or you need more time, you must follow the proper procedures and complete all the required paperwork within the time allowed.
