No one likes being the bad guy but there are times when we have to be. No where else is this more evident than when a landlord needs to evict a tenant. It is something that a landlord never wants to have to go through. Unfortunately, it sometimes is their only option.
It is important that know the process of what a tenant eviction entails in case you find yourself faced with the decision. There is the possibility that you could end up losing money or not being able to get the tenant to leave just by not following the proper steps and procedures. You could even end up being sued by the tenant for poor treatment.
Ideally, tenant screening efforts would weed out all problem tenants. There are times, however, when we find ourselves dealing with occupants who do not pay their rent on time or are constantly a nuisance to you and your other tenants. When these unfortunate cases arise, you need to be aware of everything you need to do for a smooth and quick process for both sides.
