Landlord Guide Library · Pillar 05
Eviction Evidence & Mistakes
Build an organized evidence package and avoid the preventable errors that defeat applications.
5 one-page mini-guides in this pillar.
High-Level Takeaways
Most applications fail on evidence, not on the merits
Lease, ledger, payment records, notice, proof of service and a clear chronology form the backbone of most files.
Proof of service is challenged more often than owners expect — record date, time, method and who served it.
Arrears must be recalculated right up to the hearing, including payments made after filing.
Unaddressed maintenance, privacy or tenant-rights issues can reshape the outcome of a rent matter.
