Are you liable for rent after eviction?

Do You Have To Pay Rent If You Get Evicted? In the situation where a tenant is evicted, they are liable for the remainder of their lease. That is until the landlord re-rents the unit. For unpaid rent, up to the eviction, the tenant is responsible for that as well since the lease is a contractual obligation to pay rent.

What can cause a person to be evicted from rental property?

Reasons for eviction

  • Failure to pay rent after receiving reminder notices.
  • Consistently late rental payments.
  • Malicious damage caused to the property.
  • Using the property for illegal purposes, such as drug manufacturing.
  • Being a nuisance to neighbours.
  • Breach of any other obligation written in the lease agreement.

    What are no grounds evictions?
