What is a Notice of Eviction?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney explains a notice of eviction...
As most consumers know, if you don’t pay rent or if you in some way breach the terms of the rental agreement with your landlord – you may be subject to eviction. Eviction is a legal action by the landlord to have his tenant removed from the rental property. The tenant receives information on an eviction by notice of eviction.
This notice of eviction process is determined by state law in the US and can vary depending where you live. Tenants that receive a notice of eviction are most often given a certain amount of time to either correct the problem and/or respond to the notice of eviction. Usually this is only a matter of days. An example of a notice of eviction would be if a tenant received the notice of eviction stating that their rent is due within a 3-day time frame. A typical scenario within the notice of eviction would be to either pay their rent by the due date or vacate the apartment or rental property.
If you receive an eviction notice, you have several options. However, ignoring the notice of eviction is not one of them as this will lead to matters resolved in court. If you are in a situation where you cannot pay your rent due to high bills stacking up, loss of income, unforeseen circumstances that leave you unable to meet your financial obligations, including rent, you may want to see an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Filing bankruptcy could be the best option for you.
