Evictions 101

The primary focus of this workshop is on the Basic Residential Eviction action of Eviction for Non-Payment of Rent.  Emphasis is on and examples presented to demonstrate the importance of using the legally correct notice to eliminate any defense against the eviction action. The class covers the key issues in drafting notices and the common mistakes that can and are frequently made in filling out and serving the notice, which result in defective service and delay in eviction.

What are the dos and don’ts of service? The goal is to develop an understanding of the complete Eviction Flow Process not just filing out notices. Is a three day notice really three days?  How and what days do you count? Technical defenses most often used by tenants including tender, waiver, and partial payments, plus, how to deal with them.
