What is a preliminary step in the eviction process?

Meeting with the resident
Filing a complaint with the court
Changing the locks on the apartment
Sending a notice to vacate

The correct answer is: Filing a complaint with the court

In the eviction process, sending a notice to vacate is a crucial preliminary step that serves to inform the resident of the landlord's intention to terminate the tenancy. This notice outlines the reasons for the eviction, such as non-payment of rent or violations of rental agreements, and specifies a timeframe for the resident to address the issue or vacate the premises. The notice to vacate is essential for complying with legal requirements before taking more severe actions, such as filing a complaint with the court or changing locks. It not only gives the resident an opportunity to remedy the situation but also establishes a documented record of the landlord’s attempts to resolve the matter amicably. This step ensures that the eviction process follows proper legal protocols, which is vital for protecting the landlord's rights and upholding the law.
