When eviction applies
Choosing the wrong ground is the most expensive mistake in an eviction, and the hardest to correct once notice has gone out.
The tenant stopped paying. Section 1219(c) treats failure to pay two consecutive periods as grounds for termination; for residential property you must also serve a ten-day notice. Two distinct rules, and they should not be conflated.
Ask about this caseThe term ended and the property was not returned. Here the first few days decide whether you keep the guarantors, because the guarantee ends with the lease.
Ask about this caseSomeone occupies the property with no contract or current permission. The ground is proven differently, and the wrong label complicates the case.
Ask about this caseYou lent the property or tolerated the occupation and now need it back. You must establish the right to demand return and revoke properly.
Ask about this caseHow we work
The order matters more than the speed: almost every eviction that goes wrong went wrong at the first step.
Over WhatsApp or by video call, looking at the lease and the history. The right ground is chosen before anything is sent.
A generic notice is among the hardest mistakes to undo. We draft it so it supports the claim that follows.
Eviction is heard as a summary proceeding with its own rules (section 751, Law 8465), through judgment, the period to vacate and, if necessary, enforcement.
Transparent pricing
We know people do not like having to ask what a consultation costs. So we tell you without being asked.
And there is something specific to eviction worth knowing from the start: eviction and the recovery of unpaid rent are two separate lawsuits. Section 765 of Law 8465 expressly excludes rent, improvements and damage from eviction proceedings. They can run in parallel, but they are two files and two cost lines. Anyone quoting you for one is telling you half the story.
45 minutes. We review the lease, the receipts and any notice you have already sent, and you leave knowing which ground applies and what comes next.
What changes the outcome
Section 1219(c) defines the ground: failure to pay two consecutive periods. Section 1222 imposes something different: for residential property, notice with no less than ten calendar days. One enables termination, the other is a precondition to filing. Conflating them gets claims dismissed.
Where eviction is based on non-payment, section 757 of Law 8465 admits one means for the tenant to prove payment: the landlord’s admission, or a receipt expressly recording it. Not loose transfers, not messages.
Section 1225 provides that the guarantor’s obligations end when the lease term ends, and voids any clause extending them. If the lease expired and the tenant is still in the property, the first few days decide whether you keep the guarantor.
