What is a Forcible Detainer?
A forcible detainer is an eviction from a rental property. The process begins with the landlord or owner delivering the tenant with a 5-day written notice, demanding that the tenant vacate the property. If the tenant does not vacate the property, a complaint for a forcible detainer can be filed. At a court hearing, if it is found that the tenant should not have possession of the property, then the tenant is found guilty of a forcible entry and detainer. The tenant can then be evicted from the property, with the owner taking back possession of their property.
