how an eviction notice works
An eviction notice must first be served properly and the tenant must have failed to comply, pay, or vacate within the specified timeframe. This must happen before the landlord can begin the eviction court process by serving you an âunlawful detainerâ eviction lawsuit, called a Summons & Complaint.
Erik Henningsen's painting Eviction from the National Gallery of Denmark. Eviction is the removal of a tenant from rental property by the landlord. In some jurisdictions it may also involve the removal of persons from premises that were foreclosed by a mortgagee (often, the prior owners who defaulted on a mortgage).
