Eviction Notices for Nonpayment of Rent in Arkansas
When a tenant fails to pay rent in Arkansas, a landlord must follow specific procedures under the Arkansas Residential Landlord Tenant Act to end the tenancy: either “failure to vacate” (a civil procedure) or “unlawful detainer” (a criminal procedure). Both result in termination of the lease or rental agreement for failure to pay rent. check to learn more.
The Arkansas eviction process can provide for severe repercussions to tenants who fail to pay their rent. For any tenant who breaches the rental agreement, there is only a limited time to remedy the cause for the eviction. The Arkansas eviction process is unique among the states by making it a misdemeanor for failure to pay rent if the landlord chooses to evict the tenant by initiating a special “failure to vacate” action. check to learn more.
