What Might Be a Cause for an Eviction
Evictions are never pleasant. The reasons for eviction vary dependent on the individual or situation. With “no-cause” evictions being targeted by cities and states as being unlawful and unfair, and ultimately being removed as options to landlords, this leaves only for cause eviction proceedings. So, which of the following are a cause for eviction?
- Noise Complaints
- Landscape Damage
- Unpaid Rent
- Unauthorized Pet
- Any of the Above
Answer: E
Although any of the instances above could end in eviction proceedings, most are “curable” under the law. Here are a few scenarios Real Property Management Associates chalks out as examples; noise complaints can be rectified by turning down TV or stereo volume, an unauthorized pet can be approved to stay with fees paid, or removed from the premises, landscape damage can be corrected, etc. Unpaid rent can even be paid. The only exception would be lease language that specifically states additional restrictions for the premises is grounds for immediate termination. However, this too is open to interpretation by the judge that would hear the case.
