Wait PeriodAllow the statutory notice period to expire. No filing until this period ends. |
3
File in CourtFile your eviction complaint at the courthouse. Pay the filing fee and arrange service of summons. |
4
Court HearingPresent your case. Bring your lease, notices, payment records, and photos. |
