Eviction Protection

Eviction protection is one of the most important safeguards Lakeland Homes and Realty, LLC offers Polk County property owners. If a situation arises where a tenant must be removed from your rental home, our team steps in to handle every part of the process on your behalf, protecting your investment and working to get the property re-rented as quickly as possible.

Our approach starts long before an eviction ever becomes a possibility. Every applicant goes through a thorough screening process that includes a full credit review, a national criminal background check, verifiable income documentation, proof of employment, and a complete rental history evaluation. This multi-layered screening significantly reduces the risk of placement issues, though no process eliminates the possibility entirely.

When an eviction does become necessary, Lakeland Homes and Realty, LLC manages every step in the property owner's name, from start to finish. Our eviction management services include signing and serving all required legal notices to formally initiate the eviction process, commencing and prosecuting the eviction action through the appropriate legal channels, recovering possession of the property on behalf of the owner, and pursuing recovery of any outstanding rents and amounts owed.

Throughout the process, our team coordinates directly with legal counsel so owners never have to navigate the court system on their own. The goal is always to resolve the situation efficiently, protect the owner's NOI, and return the property to a rent-ready condition as fast as possible.
