This article is being written to conclude and recap my series for Arizona landlords who need to evict or remove a tenant in the Phoenix area. I considered it important to write on this topic due to the fact that many landlords are unsure of their options. This can result in one allowing a tenant to remain in the home longer than necessary or, worse, a landlord taking matters into their own hands. The latter can result in serious consequences for the property owner. The goal of my recent articles was to provide information which will help people to better understand their situation. It has also been my goal to provide information which will assist with the selection of a lawyer. If you are in need of assistance then contact my office today to speak with an attorney.
I addressed multiple topics over my recent articles. Issues which I analyzed included:
- Evicting tenants in Phoenix or other Maricopa county areas
- How long it takes to evict a tenant in Phoenix
- Evicting a tenant with no lease or an expired lease
There are multiple reasons why I chose to address these particular topics. First, many landlords are unsure as to the reasons for which they may evict a tenant and the process for doing so. This can result in a landlord thinking that they may remove a renter when they have no basis for taking action or allowing a non-paying tenant to stay in the property longer than necessary. Understanding one’s rights as a landlord is imperative to maintaining an investment property. Second, understanding how long the process may take is important for planning purposes. Such planning can include the scheduling of contractors, etc. Finally, when a tenant is living in a property without a lease, or a lease that has expired, then the individual still has rights which must be honored.
An important point I made in each of these articles is that one should contact an attorney as soon as possible if they need to remove a tenant from their property. Failing to properly follow legal requirements can result in a tenant being allowed to remain in the property longer than necessary. Failing to follow procedures may even result in an eviction action being dismissed. This can result in additional lost rent and damage to the property. By retaining an experienced attorney to assist you, the chances of your matter being handled correctly can increase.
