Eventually, most property managers will have to to
face the situation of mailing one of their tenants an eviction notice.
Whether it's due to nonpayment of rent, demolition of their unit or just
a breach of the tenant's rental lease agreement, things are not working
well and the tenant doesn't want want to leave willingly, and therefore,
he acquires himself an eviction notice. When this situation
happens, by sticking to the exact laws and filing out the correct
eviction notice paperwork, you may legally have the renter to leave and
have the full support of the law enforcement at your back if you
do.To the best of your ability, take on a worst-case viewpoint.
Your renter may seem nice, but you can never be positive how and when
things may become different. List out each potential circumstance that
could cause the handing of an eviction notice and write out the reasons
in very clear terms in their rental lease agreement. The tenant agrees to
all the terms when they sign the rental lease agreement.When you
have decided that giving them eviction notice is the ideal thing to do,
organize all of the documents that will prove your case. The rental lease
agreement is the most critical thing along with any written documentation
you have handed to the tenant, canceled checks, notes from neighbors and
sheriff's records if they are applicable.

Write up an eviction notice stating the situations to the tenant and
offering them a time by which he is obligated to vacate.A Notice
to Vacate is the lease complicated kind of eviction notice, this is
applicable when the tenant is not in compliance with the rental lease
agreement (for instance, by having other tenants move in when prohibited
in the rental lease agreement).A Notice to Pay Rent is applicable
if the tenant is late with his rent.A notice to Vacate because of
a Nuisance is applicable if the tenant has been creating unacceptable
noise, destroying the unit, or otherwise acting in an unacceptable
manner.Communicate with the local County Court and ask to legally
present the eviction notice. You'll surely want to bring two
xeroxes of your eviction notice and a small filing fee. You'll also want
to have xeroxes of all the supporting documents you have acquired
regarding this eviction case. The County Clerk may collect them and hand
2 sets of official documents to you: One for you and one for the renter.
They may also give you a court date in case the tenant puts up an
argument with regards to the eviction notice.Give the official
documents to the tenant. It will have to be served specifically into the
tenant's hands. If you choose not to do this on your own, you can contact
the county sheriff's office or hire a private process server to deliver
it on your behalf. You can also have it delivered it via certified mail,
which will require that the tenant sign for delivery, thus ensuring that
he received it.Make sure the delivery of service clause on the
reverse side of the summons has been properly filled out and that you
have written your signature, then turn it in it to the County Clerk for
official filing.Be prepared for your court date. In a perfect
world, the tenant respects the documents and vacates the house. If he
decides to argue the eviction, it will be on you to prove your stance in
court. When the court date arrives bring all of your documents and lay it
out it all as easily and intelligently as you are able.If the
court rules in your favor, ask from the court a writ of possession, which
allows you to continue the process of the eviction.Have law
enforcement be available at the apartment on the day of eviction to
ensure that the tenant leaves without incident.I would like to
make clear that every state has a varying amount of days required for the
tenant to comply and you can check to make sure what these time frames
are before serving your eviction notice. Any incorrectly served paperwork
may cause the eviction process to be delayed and you may have to start
all over.
