An eviction, legally referred to as an unlawful detainer, is a legal action filed by a landlord to evict a tenant who is in possession of real property without a legal right.
An eviction is a proceeding limited in providing relief to:
- declaring a breach of the lease agreement.
- declaring who has legal possession of the property.
- past due rent up to the date of judgment.
- if the lease provides for court costs and attorneys fees.
The eviction process also varies from city to city. Because landlord tenant law is very complex, varies by city, and frequently undergoes changes, an attorney will be able to advise you of the exact rules your city has and can protect your rights.
