FAQ
The eviction process begins with giving proper notice to the family member living on your property. If there's no written lease, you must provide a 30-day notice to vacate. This notice should clearly state that the family member must leave the property within the specified time period.
If the occupant is a tenant at will or by sufferance, the landlord must give the tenant at least three (3) days' written notice to vacate before the landlord files a forcible detainer suit unless the parties have contracted for a shorter or longer notice period in a written lease or agreement.
