What do I do after sending an eviction notice for multiple lease violations? What is the next step after the notice?
March 19, 2025

I am sorry to hear of this issue. You will want to give the tenant a written notice to vacate. If they do not vacate within the notice period, you will then file for an eviction at your local small claims court. You will fill out and file the eviction complaint/petition. You will then have it served on your tenant. You would be evicting because your tenant is causing the issues you noted above.
The judge will schedule a hearing and determine if your tenant should be evicted.
If at any time you need an attorney to assist you, you can find a local attorney by contacting your local bar association and asking for a referral. You can also contact your local legal aid society, as they offer free and low-cost services in these types of cases. Another good resource is to contact your local law schools, as they often have clinics with attorneys that will assist in these types of cases.
Again, I am sorry to hear of this issue. If you have any follow-up questions, I will be very happy to assist you.

No, please connect me.

What is the reason for the eviction?

Multiple reasons:

- Child abuse and lots of profane language reported by multiple neighbors.
- Not having trash pickup service, causing littering by the tenant on the premises.
