Handling Evictions in Boston
Step 1: Review Lease Agreement and Grounds for Eviction
Our journey begins with a thorough review of the lease agreement. This critical step allows us to identify valid grounds for eviction, be it non-payment of rent, lease violations, or property damage.
Making sure that the eviction process aligns with the legal framework is paramount for a smooth and trouble-free resolution.
Step 2: Issue Notice to Quit
Once we establish grounds for eviction, the next move involves issuing a Notice to Quit.
This official notice serves as a communication tool, informing the tenant about the reasons for potential removal and providing a specified period to rectify the issue or vacate the property. Clarity and adherence to timelines are crucial elements at this stage.
Step 3: Court Hearing
Should the tenant fail to comply with the Notice to Quit, we proceed to the legal arena by filing a Summary Process action in the appropriate court.
This marks the initiation of the legal eviction process, culminating in a court hearing where both parties can present their case. Transparency and a fair hearing are at the core of this step.
Step 4: Execution of Eviction
With a court ruling in favor of the property owner, an Execution for Possession is issued. At Green Ocean Property Management, we take charge of coordinating with a constable or sheriff to ensure professional and lawful execution of the eviction.
Throughout this process, maintaining open communication with the property owner is non-negotiable. We understand the emotional weight of such situations and strive to ease the burden through transparent updates.
Conclusion
Embarking on a straightforward and legally compliant eviction journey isn’t just about safeguarding the property owner’s interests; it’s about minimizing stress for both property owners and tenants.
