Broken lease
There is a difference between a broken lease and eviction. When a tenant doesn’t adhere to the terms of the lease, it is called a broken lease. The most frequent instance of this is when a renter vacates early on their own without the landlord having to evict you. Many additional terms, including property debt, early move-out, lease break, property collections, and remaining balance, are used to refer to broken leases. Your future ability to rent or lease an apartment may be severely impacted by a broken lease. Many people encounter this and are left with little options about how to proceed.

Eviction
The civil procedure known as eviction allows a landlord to evict a tenant from rented property legally. When the tenant stops paying the rent, when the conditions of the rental agreement are broken, or in other circumstances made legal by law, eviction may take place.
In the US, each state and several municipalities have their own laws governing evictions. The number of days before eviction procedures start and the grounds for the eviction must be included in the notice that landlords must give tenants informing them that they are being evicted.
Tenants cannot be evicted by landlords without justification. Nonpayment of rent, damage to the property, criminal behavior, breaking the conditions of a lease, or if the landlord wants to seize the property are some of the causes. According to data by Princeton University’s Eviction Lab, unpaid rent is the most typical cause of eviction.
The eviction process
State and local eviction rules differ, but the procedure is often the same. An eviction notice is given by a landlord to a tenant, giving them a certain number of days to pay rent or repair any damage. The landlord has the right to sue the tenant for eviction if that time limit expires without a resolution. In addition to the eviction, a complainant may also demand monetary compensation for unpaid rent and utility bills, property damage, late fees, and court costs.
District courts, small claims courts, or housing courts are typically where cases are heard. Both landlords and tenants must attend and may want legal counsel. Courts need proof of wrongdoing, which may take the form of pictures, emails, texts, other documents, and witness testimony that might help either party’s case.

Before deciding whether to order an eviction or reject a landlord’s case, a judge hears testimony and considers all available information. The judge may also determine if and how much money damages should be given in the case. When the landlord or a legal representative is present, the renter usually immediately receives an eviction decision if they do not show up for court.
