Evictions in San Antonio can be time consuming and expensive, especially for landlords who are unsure of the legal process. Minimize your damages by hiring an attorney who is experienced in Texas landlord and tenant law. Before you can evict, you must file the proper notices on your tenant.
Most evictions occur because of nonpayment of rent. The day after rent is due and you have not collected it, you are entitled to serve the tenant a Notice to Vacate. Your tenant then has three days to pay the rent or leave the property.
The Notice to Vacate must be complete and correct. If you leave out any pertinent information, such as the date of the notice or the reason it’s being served, the courts will not see it as valid and your eviction will be delayed. This is why it’s so important to seek legal advice.
