how do I start the eviction process?

Answer 1

Call your county code enforcement. I think you can file it with the county clerk's office or something, but it probably depends on the state you live in, and what the rules are for your state and local government. You have to document everything legally, because the police may have to evict them for you at some point. Plus, if they leave a bunch of stuff behind, you want to legally be able to claim it to recover your costs.

p.s. Be prepared for it to take 3 months or more to get them out. It's a real pain where I live to evict somebody.

Answer 2

That depends upon state law and the reason for the eviction. Consult with an attorney for specific details for your situation.

Normally if rent is unpaid you must give the tenant written Notice to Pay or Quit. This generally must be delivered in hand or by recorded delivery. In some jurisdictions it may be posted on the main entry door to the property.

If it's for other violations of the lease terms, the notice period will probably vary. Typically a tenant must be given a 30 day Notice to Cure or Quit.

If the tenant responds within the notice period, i.e. pays the rent or fixed the violation, the eviction process is dead. If they do not respond you then file suit for eviction. The procedures and terminology vary from state to state and sometimes between local jurisdictions within the same state. Again, consult with an attorney for advice specific to your situation.
