If you want a tenant to move out, you must first tell them in writing. This is called giving notice. If they broke a rule in their rental agreement, you must tell them what they did wrong. If they dont fix the problem or move out, youll need to ask the court for an order to make them leave.
Common Illegal Eviction Tactics Lockouts: Changing the locks to deny you access to your home. Utility Shutoffs: Turning off water, gas, or electricity in an attempt to force you out. Threats or Harassment: Using intimidation, verbal threats, or repeated harassment to pressure you into leaving.
