A common misconception about when you might need an eviction attorney is that you have to wait until you send an eviction notice out to start consulting with eviction lawyers. According to the video “Eviction: Attorney’s SECRET Advice for Landlords” by The Kwak Brothers, evictions can be subjective so some landlords may benefit from consulting with an attorney sooner rather than later. Even if you know all of the local and federal laws related to evictions as a landlord, a skilled eviction attorney can guide you through the process and help you lower the risks or losses associated with an eviction.
Eviction attorneys can help you see the purpose of an eviction clearly if you’ve had a difficult time with the tenant that you’re evicting and you find it hard to stay objective. At the end of the day, the point of an eviction is to get a tenant who refuses to pay rent out of the property so you can fill it as soon as possible with a tenant who will pay the rent. A skilled eviction lawyer will be prepared to work with you to evict a tenant who knows the laws and their rights well enough to drag the eviction process on for a long time. They can also help you file the right paperwork.
