Which type of property management issue requires a court order for resolution?

Evictions are a specific type of property management issue that necessitates a court order for resolution. This process typically arises when a landlord seeks to remove a tenant from a rental property due to reasons such as non-payment of rent, breach of lease terms, or other legal grounds. The eviction process involves formal legal proceedings, where the landlord must file a case in court, typically referred to as an unlawful detainer action.

Once the case is filed, the court will schedule a hearing where both the landlord and the tenant can present their arguments. If the court rules in favor of the landlord, it will issue an eviction order, allowing law enforcement to carry out the eviction if the tenant does not vacate voluntarily. This judicial process protects the rights of tenants by ensuring they are provided a fair opportunity to contest the eviction.

Other issues, such as maintenance disputes, security deposit disputes, and lease renewals, do not inherently require a court order. While they can become contentious and may lead to legal action, they typically start with negotiations or mediation between the parties involved without needing direct court involvement to resolve the initial disputes.
