In addition to their emphasis on mobile home park clients, Mountain States Eviction Law Firm also represents residential landlords who own apartment complexes, condos, town homes, and individual
residences. The attorneys at Mountain States are dedicated to making your life as a property manager
or owner/landlord easier. We can help you create or modify your existing lease or help you evict a
problem tenant as quickly as possible. We can also help you remain protected against tenants that try
and retaliate following an eviction, or tenants that file bankruptcy, refuse to pay rent, have broken the
terms of the contract, or are causing you serious problems.
It you have a non-paying tenant; you can follow these three steps to evict them from your property:
- Serve an Eviction Notice– The eviction notice will end the lease. The notice serves as a demand
letter telling the tenants that they will face an eviction lawsuit if they fail to adhere to the
notice. The eviction notice must be handled properly and must be carefully worded because it
serves as the foundation for the eviction. If a tenant has caused multiple violations, the landlord
must serve multiple eviction notices. The more documentation a landlord has, the more
evidence they have to apply to their case. Call LeBaron & Jensen for a free landlord consultation
to make sure you are in compliance with the correct eviction notices. - Filing an Eviction Notice with the Court – If the tenant does not comply with the eviction notice,
the landlord will need to file an eviction lawsuit with Utah courts. Most of our clients will call our
Layton law firm at this stage of the process as it is quite complex. The evictions are usually
completed 2-3 weeks after filing and the locks can then be changed. - Performing the Lockout – After the eviction is filed, landlords are able to step back as the
sheriff’s office will get involved and will change the locks. Hire an attorney to make sure your
eviction is handled in the correct way.
