In general, if a tenant does not pay rent on the day it is due, the landlord may immediately bring an Eviction Action unless the lease provides otherwise. According to state law, legitimate reasons can be nonpayment of rent, other breach of the lease, or cases where the tenant has refused to leave after notice to vacate has been properly served and the tenancy’s last day has passed. To bring such an action the landlord must have a legitimate reason. This is a legal proceeding conducted in district court. In order to evict a tenant, a landlord must first bring an “Eviction Action,” or what used to be called an “Unlawful Detainer” action, against the tenant. Landlords cannot forcibly remove tenants.

After the hearing the judge will decide whether to accept, reject or change the referee’s recommended decision. After receiving this notice, a time for the review hearing will be set.

The person who is requesting the review must file and serve (provide to the other party) a notice of the recommended order or finding. The landlord or tenant can ask the district court judge to review any order or finding recommended by the referee. These become the findings and orders of the court when confirmed by the district judge. After the hearing in each case, the referee’s recommended findings and orders are sent to the district court judge.
