I own one small villa. Recently, one tenant's lease ended, so I asked the tenant to vacate. However, the tenant neither pays the monthly rent nor vacates the unit. I cannot very well enter secretly, and I am quite at a loss. Can I file a so-called tenant eviction lawsuit? Someone please help me.

Hello. This is a real estate attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.
A tenant eviction lawsuit is a procedure by which a tenant can be legally evicted when the tenant, even after the lease has ended, does not voluntarily vacate the unit or does not pay the monthly rent.
A tenant eviction lawsuit requires evidentiary materials such as a copy of the lease agreement, the content-certified mail and proof of postal delivery, receipts for unpaid rent or other documentation of nonpayment, and records of conversations with the tenant.
In your situation, to file a tenant eviction lawsuit, you should follow the procedure below.
1. Attempting a conversation with the tenant
2. Sending content-certified mail
3. Filing the tenant eviction lawsuit
4. Oral argument
5. Pronouncement of judgment
6. Compulsory execution
If the tenant, despite having legally received an eviction order through the eviction lawsuit, still does not vacate, you may request compulsory execution.
A tenant eviction lawsuit involves complex procedures and many aspects that require legal knowledge.
In particular, when handling matters related to compulsory execution or unpaid rent, the assistance of a real estate attorney is very important.
A real estate attorney manages all procedures before and after filing the lawsuit, including sending content-certified mail, and accompanies you so that everything proceeds in accordance with the legal process.
If you determine that you need legal assistance with a tenant eviction lawsuit, you are welcome to request a consultation.
