Eviction Notice

Evictions are recorded in the public record subsequent to their submission to the court system. The comprehensiveness of available information is contingent upon the jurisdiction in which the report was submitted; however, all instances of eviction are discernible to some extent through publicly accessible records. The potential inclusion of a case in criminal background checks is contingent upon the outcome of its final judgment. In general, it is noteworthy that eviction records are not currently included in credit reports as of July 2017. Consequently, numerous landlords conduct distinct screenings of eviction records alongside credit reports.

A notice of eviction, also known as a notice to quit, is issued by a property owner to terminate a rental agreement with their tenant or the individual in possession of the property, and to evict them from the premises. Typically, a notice of eviction is issued to a renter who has failed to pay rent or has caused damage or misuse of the property. In the event of a contractual violation of the lease, such as exceeding the agreed-upon number of occupants, a notice may be served to the tenant.
There exist multiple methods for delivering an eviction notice. The act of serving an eviction notice to a tenant can be outsourced by a landlord to a process server or a professional service provider. One issue that arises is that tenants who fall behind on rent and are aware of their landlord’s search for them can be difficult to locate and serve.

The optimal method for delivering an eviction notice is to dispatch the notice through certified mail, accompanied by a return receipt. Upon completion of the eviction process, the notification of eviction is prominently displayed on the premises, typically on the front door or garage. It is imperative to acknowledge that the lessor is prohibited from engaging in activities such as altering the locks or discontinuing the supply of electricity or water to the premises while carrying out an eviction procedure. Upon the appropriate service of notice, the responsibility of enforcing the order in the event of noncompliance by tenants lies with the local authorities.

The 3-day notice to quit is a legal instrument employed to terminate a tenancy in situations where the rentee has defaulted on rent payment, breached the terms of the rental agreement, engaged in unlawful activities on the property, caused damage to the premises, or created a disturbance.

· The issuance of a 30-day notice to quit is a viable option for the cessation of a residential tenancy that has lasted for a period of less than one year.
· The issuance of a 60-day notice to quit is a viable option for the cessation of a residential tenancy that has persisted for a period exceeding one year.
· Specialized notice to quit may be necessary in specific situations. In cases where a tenant’s rent is subsidized, it is necessary to provide a lengthier notice to quit. Acquiring knowledge about the particular legislation applicable to one’s state and locality is crucial, and it is advisable to consult the rental board in one’s vicinity.
