Guided eviction paperwork for self-represented landlords
Self-represented landlords need to serve eviction notices correctly and track filings.
Why it can work
- Improper notice service causes refiling and lost back rent
- Tenants refuse papers and proof of service is hard
- Landlords lack funds for lawyers in eviction hearings
Watch out
- Notice rules vary by location, so guidance must stay current
- Legal advice limits may restrict what the service can offer

The job to be done
Serve eviction notices and track court filings
When a self-represented landlord faces tenants who refuse papers, owe back rent, or leave unclear notice rules, they need to serve notices correctly and track filings, so they can recover possession without refiling.
