Balsamon Rosenblatt & Cohen PC
To evict a tenant, the landlord, or their attorney, must prepare a petition requesting a court hearing, which must be served on the tenant and filed with the court.
Following appropriate notice, a landlord may bring a summary non-payment court proceeding to evict a tenant who fails to pay the agreed rent when due and to recover outstanding rent. A landlord may also bring a summary holdover eviction proceeding if, for example, a tenant significantly violates a substantial obligation under the lease, such as using the premises for illegal purposes, committing or permitting a nuisance, or staying beyond the lease term without permission.
