Property Management Dallas, TX : The Most Common Eviction Causes

Here, in brief, are the most common causes for eviction, according to experts in property management, Dallas, TX.

1. Failure to pay rental fee - The eviction is legal when the renter fails to pay the rental fee for even one month, thus violating the terms of the rental agreement, or lease. In some cases, however, a resident may legally postpone payment until a repair issue is resolved. Consistently being late in paying the rent is also a common cause for eviction.
   
   
2. Refusal to vacate - Eviction procedures will almost always be started for renters who refuse to vacate an apartment whose lease is up. A "Notice to Quit" form must be given to the renter before the landlord or manager may legally file.
   
   
3. Disturbing other residents - Renters who consistently ignore warnings to stop disruptive behavior are giving the one in charge of the rental property a good, legal reason to evict them. If they stop the disturbances, however, there are no legal grounds.
   
   
4. Property damage - Willful property damage is defined by the law as damage beyond "normal wear and tear", a phrase found in nearly every rental contract. This phrase is a somewhat blurry one, but if the damage was intentional and the renter made no attempt to rectify it, there are very good grounds for a legal eviction.
   
   
5. Lease-breaking acts - Any other acts that violate the terms of the signed lease can generate eviction. Typical examples are not putting a roommate's name on the lease and non-payment of pet fees.
