This article is being written to begin a discussion on the option for Arizona landlords who need to evict a tenant in Phoenix or other parts of Maricopa County. I am writing this series of articles due to the fact that small landlords are often unsure as to what rights they have, and do not have, when facing a problematic tenant. This lack of clarity about the situation can lead to unnecessary financial losses for the landlord. I am writing this series, therefore, with the goal of providing information which will help people to better understand their situation. It is also my goal to provide information which will assist with the selection of an eviction attorney. If you are in need of assistance then contact my office today to speak with a lawyer.
I will be addressing multiple topics over my coming articles. Issues which I will be discussing include:
- How to evict a tenant in Phoenix & other parts of Maricopa County
- How long the eviction process may take
- Evicting a tenant when they have no lease
- Evicting a tenant after their lease has expired
I chose to address these particular topics for multiple reasons. First, some landlords make the mistake of engaging in “self-help” and taking matters into their own hands when dealing with a problem tenant. Doing so can have repercussions for the landlord. It is vital to follow the proper legal process. Second, how long the eviction may take will depend on the reason for which the tenant is being removed. Understanding the different possibilities is important to long-term planning. Third, a landlord is required to go through the proper channels even if the tenant has no lease or they have stayed in the property after their lease has expired. Finally, I will be discussing how retaining an attorney can assist you with the process.
