An eviction notice is a legal document filed by a property owner against a tenant for non-payment of rent or breach of lease agreement. The plaintiff must follow specific procedures before filing the claim, and a court hearing will decide on the eviction. If the defendant fails to appear or defend themselves, the court will rule in favor of the plaintiff, and the eviction will be enforced within 72 hours.
An eviction notice is a legal filing against one party by another in order to attempt to legally evict the first party from property owned by the second. The documents for this filing constitute the “complaint” and typically state the names of both parties and the physical address from which one party is seeking to evict the other. It will also state the reason for the eviction, often due to unpaid rent or breach of lease or tenancy agreement, and may claim financial damages on top of the eviction. An eviction complaint typically has to be filed by someone seeking to evict a person and will usually result in a court hearing to decide on an eviction.
When someone wishes to legally evict a person from property they own, that person must file an eviction complaint against the other person. In this type of situation the person requesting the eviction is the plaintiff in the case and the party seeking to evict is the defendant. There are usually certain procedures that must be followed before a person can legally file an eviction claim, such as a specific amount of time that has passed that has given the person time to pay rent overdue; usually, the defendant must have been notified in advance of the intention to evict him or her as well.
As long as these procedures are followed correctly and the defendant does not pay the rent owed to the plaintiff or otherwise resolve the situation, the plaintiff can then file an eviction claim. This is a legal document, and while it doesn’t have to be drafted with the help of a lawyer, legal counsel can make the process easier. The eviction claim will typically state the plaintiff and defendant, the property in question, and the reason for the claim.
Once the eviction notice is filed, the court will set a time for the hearing that will decide on the eviction. This usually happens within two to three weeks of filing the claim, and the defendant will be notified by the court of the specific date. A plaintiff may also need to notify the defendant of the court date, although this typically depends on the region or country where the eviction claim is being filed.
A defendant can appear at the court hearing and present a defense against eviction, such as by proving that the rent has been paid or by proving that the lease agreement has not been violated. If the defendant fails to appear to contest the eviction, or fails to demonstrate a defense, the court typically rules in favor of the plaintiff and orders the eviction to be enforced. This eviction can take place as early as 72 hours after the sentence.
