Do you have to hire a lawyer to legally evict someone? Or can you just send out letters in a timely fashion?

Please specify the stpes to evict someone (how long you must wait to notify the tenant - and when to start the eviction proceedings. thanks)


    




Common
The answer to your questions depends on where you live. Each state sets their own rules, codified in something like a "Landlord-Tenant Act". Try Googling that term in conjunction with your state's name.

You do not need an attorney to properly evict someone. However, you must do it in strict accordance with the law otherwise they may be able to sue you for damages. So be careful.

No, but you must do it according to contract.

You don't need a lawyer but you do need a judicial order (an order allowing the eviction signed by a judge and enforced by your local County Sheriff).
