How To Evict A Tenant

By Maryl Joop


If you currently live in Las Vegas, but are planning to move out of your home, you should probably start thinking about what you need to do to sell your home. You may be aware that now is a great time to sell your Las Vegas home because the real estate market is doing very well in that area.

It's hard to avoid. If you run property management services or own rental property, the time may come when you have to evict someone from the premise.

Although the process isn't the most enjoyable experience-few people putting people on the streets-it must be done. So here's how you can do it tactfully and lawfully so you can sleep better at night.

There are several things you can do to make your home more appealing for renters or buyers. The first thing you should do is drive past your home.

The terms of the agreement can include harming the property and not fixing it themselves, staying past their contract date, non-payment of rent or utilities, etc. Whatever the terms, they are laid out with the understanding that there are punishments affixed for breaking any of these.

Smart buyers do their homework, know what size home they need, how much they can afford, and then search the market for what they want and negotiate fairly. If you do this, you will avoid a lot of back and forth bantering about cost that leads to nowhere.

Look closely at the paint on your house. Is it cracked or faded?

When it's something like paying late rent or fixing a major part of the apartment, talking to them about it can resolve the difference without need of eviction. If you show that you are a merciful, trusting landlord then you may win over the hearts of your tenants.

If you can get their hearts, then they won't easily do wrong by you again. Not everyone responds to these merciful movements though.

A welcome mat would also be a great idea to create a warm atmosphere. Planting flowers in the available dirt is also an option.

It's very civil to issue a warning or two before you resort to eviction. Third, send a notice of eviction if your tenant is noncompliant to your warnings.

There is usually more that needs to be done to the house than you think. In a tighter market, it is not too much to ask the homeowner to add the closing costs to the price of the house.

Nothing could be more revolting to a potential buyer than a dirty or unkempt bathroom. Make sure you clean your bathroom thoroughly, and try to put a few decorations up if you haven't already.

Fourth, if they are unwilling to leave after your notices, seek legal action against them. Under the right course of action, you can lead to the point that a sheriff will accompany you to the property and kick the person out then and there.

When you follow these steps of civility, you offer the tenant an opportunity to fix their mistakes, and in doing so, potentially preserve a relationship with you, their landlord. If they choose not to work with your agreement though, follow the natural course of law.

By putting a bit of thought and effort into making your home appealing, you increase your chances of getting your home bought or rent by a large margin.
