Wrongful eviction

When can a Landlord evict a Tenant?

The law varies from state to state. In some places like San Francisco, it is illegal to evict your tenants just for the sole purpose of renting the home for a higher rate. Read this article for an example.

When can I evict?

In the great State of Wyoming, evictions can take place if the Tenant fails to pay an outstanding charge or violates the terms of the lease agreement. Depending on the violation, you may have to give the Tenant 30 days to rectify the situation or as little as three days.

The key is to know the law and follow it. As a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), we hold ourselves to a higher code of ethics and ensure all parties are treated honestly and fairly.

It is best to follow the rules even if it takes a couple more days. It is the law.

I just had a similar conversation with a person I know from Illinois. As you say, every state has their own rules and going to Landlord/Tenant on the Internet with the State will give everyone a lot of great information.

You did a great job!!!

Good afternoon again Nathan and Angie. You're right states vary but in NJ where I practiced the courts always favored the tenants and it was important to do things just right.
