Run an eviction without losing on a technicality

Most evictions that fail, fail on procedure: the wrong notice, the wrong number of days, filed too early. This page tracks the sequence your state actually requires.

A case is a sequence, not an event

Starting a case sets up the whole chain: notice, cure period, filing, hearing. Each stage has a date requirement that comes from your state's law rather than a default.

The status filter is that sequence. Where a case sits tells you what is allowed to happen next.

The notice period is the part people get wrong

Pay-or-quit periods vary widely, and several states count business days rather than calendar days. Filing one day early can end the case.

Rentari generates the notice for the property's state and computes the earliest date you may file, from the day it was actually served.

Worth knowingServing the notice is a legal act with its own rules, and the method matters as much as the wording in several states. Record when and how you served it, because that date drives everything after it.
