Evicting a Tenant

Your written lease forms the basis for most evictions. It should be detailed enough to list the rent price, lease term, how to pay the rent, the parties’ obligations, the identities of the tenants, and what acts are a material breach of the lease that affords you the right to begin eviction proceedings.

Examples of reasons or activities for which you can evict a tenant include:

• Intentionally damaging the property
• Failure to pay rent
• Contract violation
• Damage to the property
• Illegal uses of the property (drugs: sales, productions, or use)
• Nuisance to other
• Remaining after the lease is up
• Not paying rent;
• Breaching important lease agreement provisions;
• Creating a nuisance;
• Serious property damage;
• Criminal activities including threats of violence to the landlord;
• Refusing to sign a lease extension with similar terms as the original;
• Illegally subletting or assigning rights to others;
• Preventing the landlord from legally entering for repairs or showing the property;
• A terminated resident manager refusing to leave;
• Using the property for illegal purposes; and
• Failure to move after giving the landlord notice of intent to move.

You must be cautious and follow the proper procedures to evict a tenant. You cannot change the locks, enter the unit and remove the tenant’s belongings, or threaten them or you can face civil as well as criminal consequences.
