About

Commercial eviction protections are laws that protect commercial tenants from unfair evictions or provide relief for tenants facing eviction. Eviction protections are often associated with tenant harassment protections and lease protections, as all three involve keeping tenants in stable and fair leasing situations. To effectively combat displacement, tenants should have access to all three protections. Eviction protection laws can mandate how far ahead landlords are required to notify tenants before an eviction, and they also provide tenants with information on eviction processes, their rights, and how to avoid eviction. These laws outline what constitutes landlord non-compliance, which can also help tenants defend themselves in court during eviction proceedings or give them cause to sue non-compliant landlords.
