Can You Start the Eviction Process Now?
- You can start eviction anytime a tenant breaches the lease (e.g., non-payment of rent), but the legal process must be followed precisely to win a judgment.
- If you have accepted any payment for the month in which you wish to begin the eviction process, you cannot proceed with the eviction.
- For evictions based on reasons other than non-payment of rent, consult a licensed attorney.
- Confirm the dates of required payments and verify non-payment thoroughly.
- Make every effort to contact tenants and arrange for payment.
- We recommend accepting only full lump-sum payments rather than partial payments, though the final decision is yours.
