There are laws that allow private landlords to regain possession of properties they rent out. The process of eviction can take months or even a year, depending on the grounds. Expedited eviction may be an option in urgent cases.

Before an eviction can take place, many steps must be completed. As a starting point, the tenant must be notified of the intention to evict.

An eviction is decided by the court unless it is agreed by both tenant and landlord. The documents and claims are reviewed by the court. Afterward, they can determine if eviction is justified.

In the case of a successful eviction, the landlord can obtain enforcement assistance through the city’s bailiffs.

Note: Eviction results in homelessness, which is a very serious matter. Legal help is crucial if you’re being evicted.
