Every state requires landlords to follow a specific procedure — typically written notice, a court filing, and a court order — though the steps and deadlines differ. Whether you're a tenant fighting an unjust eviction or a landlord who needs to reclaim your property, an attorney ensures the process is handled correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a landlord evict me without going to court?

Generally no. States prohibit self-help eviction: a landlord cannot lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off utilities to force you out. They must follow the legal eviction process: written notice, court filing, hearing, and a court-ordered writ of possession.

What is a 3-day notice to vacate?

It is the written notice a landlord must give before filing an eviction suit. The required period is set by state law and by the lease — in Texas, for example, it is at least 3 days unless the lease specifies otherwise.
