Evictions

A landlord may not evict a tenant without a court order. Eviction proceedings can be started in case a tenant: fails to pay rent, damages property, violates the terms of the lease, injures another tenant, allows drug-related criminal activity on the premises, gambles illegally on the property. As a rule, the tenant receives a notice that an eviction lawsuit has been filed and he or she has the opportunity to be heard in court before any eviction.

At the same time, the landlord is not allowed to use threats of violence, remove a tenant's possessions, illegally lock-out, or discontinue essential services such as water or heat.
