Eviction Process and Risks

LANDLORD GUIDE

This APOA guide is general community education for landlords. It is not legal, financial, or tax advice. Please check current state rules and seek qualified advice for your own situation.

Eviction must follow a legal process. Landlords cannot change locks, remove a tenant, or force eviction themselves.

The process usually starts with a lawful reason, correct notice, waiting for the notice period, tribunal orders, and enforcement through the proper authority if required.

Applying too early or using the wrong notice can delay the entire process.
