When a tenant violates the terms of their lease, such as having pets when the lease agreement expressly prohibits them, the property manager may initiate eviction proceedings. Eviction is a legal process through which a landlord seeks to remove a tenant from the rental property due to violations of the lease terms. In this scenario, the unapproved presence of pets constitutes a breach of contract, providing the property manager with the grounds needed to take legal action. The eviction process typically requires the property manager to provide notice to the tenant regarding the violation and to allow a certain period for the tenant to rectify the issue or vacate the property. If the tenant fails to comply, the property manager can file an eviction lawsuit in the appropriate court to formalize the removal of the tenant. This underscores the importance of adhering to lease agreements and the potential repercussions of violations. Other processes such as negotiation, settlement, or reassessment could occur, but they typically focus on resolving issues before they escalate to eviction. In situations where a lease is violated, eviction is the direct and legal method to address a tenant's non-compliance.
