Enforcement of the Lease
If the tenant does not pay the rent or otherwise violates the terms of the lease, the landlord can go to court to have the tenant removed from the residence. Most courts have a faster system for such proceedings than for other lawsuits. Any tenant who receives a summons, citation or petition in a lawsuit by the landlord should respond promptly. The time allowed by the court for responding will be stated on the document. Failure to respond can lead to eviction without the full review by the court.
