Search In Legal Mississippi Termination Of Lease Forms For Free

Nonpayment of rent Before a landlord can start the eviction process, they must give a tenant in Mississippi an official written 3-Day Notice to Pay form. The notice must have been delivered properly. If the tenant can pay the rent due within those 3 days, then the filing for eviction does not continue.

Before filing, the landlord will need to serve the tenant with a written notice to quit stating the reason their tenancy is being terminated, what they can do to retain their lease (if the issue can be remedied), and the date by which they must either remedy the issue or vacate the property.

If the tenancy is month to month, without a set ending date to the lease, either the landlord or tenant may terminate the lease by giving 30 days written notice. No reason is required for the termination.

During your tenancy, your landlord is also required to maintain the premises in a habitable condition. This means they must, among other things, comply with building and housing codes materially affecting health and safety, and maintain the unit in substantially the same condition it was in at the start of the lease.

The landlord must give the tenant a three day notice, in writing, to evict for nonpayment of rent. The notice must state that the tenant must pay rent or vacate possession. If the tenant does not pay in three days, the landlord may file an eviction action in justice court and obtain an order of eviction.

The judge will also issue an eviction order called a removal warrant. The removal warrant allows a law enforcement officer, like the sheriff or a marshall, to remove the tenant from the rental property. In some cases, the judge will give the tenant a few days to move.
