An Eviction case is a lawsuit brought to recover possession of real property, often by a landlord against a tenant. A claim for rent may be joined with an eviction case if the amount of rent due is unpaid is not more than $10,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs, but including attorney fees, if any. All Eviction suits must be filed in the Justice of the Peace precinct where the property is located.
