  1. How To Proceed After A Tenant Is Evicted/ Forcibly Removed From Your Rental Property

  2. Introduction; Evictions are seldom enjoyable for either of the parties involved. However, landlords should be aware of exactly what to do next after evicting a tenant. Once ownership of your rental property is returned to you, it's crucial to have a plan or a course of action in place. 3,255 eviction lawsuits were filed in the city of Los Angeles alone in recent years, according to evictionlab.com. These numbers have undoubtedly increased as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. This only emphasizes how crucial it is to have a step-by-step plan in place for what to do when you have successfully evicted a renter. Phase 1: Replace the Locks on Your Rental Home; The moment they drive away following the sheriff lockout is the ideal time to change the locks on your rental property after reclaiming control. Changing the locks the day after evicting a renter is best done with the help of a dependable handyman or a licensed locksmith. You don't know if the tenant has a set of keys to go back into your property or if anyone else does. Take no chances. Make this your first and most crucial post-eviction move. Phase 2: Through Inspection of Your Rental Unit in Its Entirety; Once your rental property has been properly secured, it's time to return and give it a full examination. Bring a fresh copy of your walkthrough list and move-in inspection so you can compare them. Take whatever pictures you consider relevant, especially if your rental property has been damaged. In spite of you, the landlord, tenants frequently damage your property after losing an eviction action. But don't panic, there are ways to get your damages paid for. Typical & A Must to Check Places Are As Follows; Inspect the kitchen and bathroom for mold (s). Carpet Deterioration. Panels/walls with holes and paintwork disorders. Search for leaks near the toilet, kitchen, and bathroom faucets. Faulty window locks and broken windows. Other appliances, such as a water heater, which are included with the rental property agreement.

  3. Phase 3: Submit a Damage Claim in Court for Small Claims; You can file a small claims case and win a judgment to recover damages if your renter left a substantial amount of damage on your rental property following an eviction. Note: This is an option to consider, mainly depending on the situation. Phase 4: Get the Rental Property Ready; It's time to put your rental property back on the market after evaluating the damages caused by evicting a tenant. You should already have a plan in place to get your property ready for rent, assuming your evicted tenant didn't cause too much damage beyond the usual wear and tear. Request the services of your handyman to fix little issues, steam clean the carpet, paint the walls, and do a thorough cleaning. In the event that your renter damaged your property before moving out, you should consider remodeling it to increase its worth or performing the required repairs to put it back on the market. Phase 5: Implement Any Modifications Pertinent And Relevant To Your Procedure. It's crucial to learn from our mistakes after your rental is back on the market so that you don't make the same ones again. Can you identify the error you made? Did you bypass your careful screening procedure? Did you follow your gut instinct? Are there any changes or issues with your lease that need to be made? Perhaps a hole your evicted renter discovered? Avoiding the Need for Evictions To Begin With; Evictions can leave you with a very unpleasant aftertaste. They can be time- consuming and expensive. Always try to keep evictions from happening in the first place. After all, it is far simpler to turn down a tenant while the application process is still in progress than it is to evict them after you have given them the keys. Successful and seasoned landlords keep a few guidelines in mind to stay out of trouble. Keep interviewing, screening, and background checks at the very top of your list of priorities. This is always a warning sign if your tenant makes it tough for you in any way. Work on your business acumen and create a positive rapport with your clients. A tenant is ultimately your consumer, which may seem strange. Don't make it difficult for your tenants to contact you. Send them a text if you haven't heard from them in 15 days. It has a big impact.

  4. Conclusion; Better tenants will typically be attracted if you keep your rental property in excellent condition. Only the best will do for good tenants. They won't give in. By keeping your home at rental market value, you can attract the best tenants. Evictions are an unavoidable aspect of running a rental property. To get your business back on track as soon as possible after evicting a renter, it's critical to maintain your composure and abide by the rules.
