Forcible entry and detainer (FED) is a legal action used to regain possession of property from a tenant who has violated the lease agreement. FED is commonly used in landlord-tenant disputes and is designed to be a relatively quick and inexpensive way to resolve disputes over possession of property.
The theory behind an FED is that the landlord or owner alleges the tenant has unlawful use and possession of the property. Therefore, the landlord/owner seeks the assistance of the court in removing the tenant from the property.
What happens next? The court will then hold a hearing to determine if the occupant has the right to possession. If the court finds that the occupant does not have this right, the court will uphold the landlord or owners right to regain possession of the property.
Forcible entry/exit claims require evidence of the bdocHub itself. So, to get a claim accepted without undue hassle, evidence of the damage caused by the entry or exit is recommended whether thats photos of broken doors or windows, copies of police reports, or detailed descriptions of the forced entry.
FORCIBLE ENTRY AND DETAINER. Sec. 24.001. FORCIBLE ENTRY AND DETAINER. (a) A person commits a forcible entry and detainer if the person enters the real property of another without legal authority or by force and refuses to surrender possession on demand.
