Eviction Notices for Nonpayment of Rent in D.C.
Eviction lawsuits are filed with the Superior Court of Washington, D.C. To begin the lawsuit, the landlord must file a summons and complaint with the court. The court will set a date for a hearing before a judge, and then the tenant will receive notice of the lawsuit. check to learn more.
Judicial process is required for all evictions. Furthermore, in all cases other than non-payment of rent, a filing with the Rental Accommodations Division (RAD) is required. A tenant may not be evicted just because the initial lease term expires, or because the rental property has been foreclosed upon. check to learn more.
