Even though you, as a tenant might think that a landlord has the power to evict you anytime that they way, there are certain steps that they need to go through.  Most of the time, when an eviction happens, the renter and the landlord have had some sort of misunderstanding and while it might be cleared up in just a few conversations, an eviction notice can be damaging to the landlord/tenant relationship piece.

One of the steps that the landlord needs to give you, as a renter before eviction is a grace period – not only to fix whatever the problems might be but for you to locate another place and for you to start moving.

The grace period is usually around thirty days and you do not have to pay the rent for that grace period, as you get getting out of the house.
