eviction laws
Removal procedure statutes
Eviction laws are the legal rules governing how landlords can remove tenants from rental property.
These laws typically require formal notice, specific grounds for eviction, and court proceedings before a tenant can be legally forced out.
They vary significantly by jurisdiction: The state's eviction laws require sixty days' notice for no-fault evictions.
Tenant advocates often push for stronger eviction laws to prevent displacement.
