What should you do if you get an eviction notice?

Being Evicted According to the Relocation, Foreclosure and Eviction page on HUD's website: You should contact a local legal assistance provider for advice More advice from FAQ Farmers: Having been in the eviction business for 30 years now helping landlords evict tenants who refuse to pay has taught me one thing I would like to pass on to tenants; first, don't ignore the notice. If it is for non-payment of rent, figure out how you can pay and immediately contact your landlord to make arrangements to pay the rent. If the notice does not state a reason, then you should still contact your landlord and ask why you were given the notice.

Landlords do NOT arbitrarily give eviction notices out. Most all have a legitimate reason (and you as the tenant probably know or have a good hunch why). Sometimes you can negotiate with the landlord and he will withdraw the eviction notice.

However, if the tenant has caused too many problems and they are good reasons (not improper ones) for eviction, the tenant needs to immediately start looking for another place to live. Sure you can contact legal aid, but you must qualify (most tenants don't), or you could pay a small fee to a local attorney for some legal advice. The bottom line is that the landlord owns the rental and can ask a tenant to vacate as long as he is in compliance with state and any local (city) laws.

Additionally, it is important to keep your landlord as an ally; you probably need him to give you a reference for your next landlord.

When you receive an eviction notice, make sure to handle it promptly and professionally. You may be able to work out something that is beneficial to both the landlord and to you. Check out more tips and tricks at this site.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
