Landlord’s before entering into a valid eviction process must understand the true nature of the tenancy of the renter. If the durational term of a valid lease has expired but the tenant has remained in occupancy with the permission of the Landlord, he is often times referred to as a “Holdover” tenant. The procedures needed to evict this tenant for non- payment of rent differ greatly to the eviction process of a party who lease has not expired.
