An Indiana eviction notice drafted by landlords targets tenants who breach their leases. It must outline the violation, provide the legally required response time, and comply with state law. If the situation remains unresolved, landlords can proceed with court action.
Use it when the tenant falls behind on rental payments. Once the tenant receives this notice, they have ten days to either pay the rent or vacate the property.
Use it if the tenant broke the terms of your lease (any except for late rent).
Use it if you’re ending a month-to-month lease to inform the tenant that they must move out in 30 days.
Use this notice to end year-to-year leases.
The first step in an eviction is to deliver the appropriate Indiana eviction notice to the tenant in person. If you can’t find your tenant, you can deliver the notice to anyone who resides on the premises or post the notice on the tenant’s door.
The tenant can either fix (or “cure”) the problem or move out within the timeframe provided by the notice.
In Indiana, evictions can be filed in Small Claims Court when the amount of rent due is less than $6,000. A landlord or tenant can also file emergency possessory actions in small claims court as well. Emergency orders may be granted if the tenant engages in harmful or damaging behavior while on the property.
The tenant must be served a notice that indicates when they should appear in court to defend against the eviction.
At the hearing, the court will hear a landlord’s arguments and any defenses that a tenant may have against the eviction. A judgment will be made, and the tenant will either be allowed to remain on the property or forcibly removed by the sheriff.
