Small Claims: Eviction

Remember!
Before you file an Eviction Action, consider mediation. Landlords can access help for NO COST through
The Rental Housing Resource Center. Mediators can work with these topics and more:
  • Rent payment missed, late or partial payment
  • Maintenance, repairs, pests
  • Breach of lease agreement terms
  • Communication problems
  • Disruptive behavior / 911 calls
  • Security Deposit / Payment for damages

This grid will help you decide which type of notice must be used during the eviction process. Match the type of lease / rental agreement you have (found on the top row of the grid), and the reason for the eviction (found on the left column of the grid). For more information on the types of notices or reasons for evictions, use the Eviction Checklist below.
