Your Extra Steps for HUD Evictions

You gave your tenant an eviction notice. What happens next?

• Your tenant may set up a meeting with you to discuss the notice and what you can do to fix any lease violations.

• The tenant should put the notice in writing.

• Keep a copy of the notice for proof at your hearing.

• If you refuse to meet with the Tenant, and then file an eviction lawsuit, then this gives the tenant a potential defense to the eviction.

• Keep a copy of the documents related to the dispute, including:

• your lease

• written complaints

• termination notices

• rent payment history

• inspection reports

• notes of conversations

• witness statements

• police reports

Eviction a HUD tenant is usually a delicate process. As always it is wise to speak with attorney first before evicting a HUD tenant.
