NOTICE TO QUIT
The first step in the Summary Process (Eviction) procedure is the Notice to Quit Posession. (Form JD-HM-7) You must state a reason on the Notice to Quit. The most frequently used reasons for evictions are nonpayment of rent and termination of lease by lapse of time. Always include in the Notice to Quit Possession the namesof all adults living in premises. If you know that there are adults living in the premises, but you do not know their names, you may characterize them as John and/or Jane Doe, as appropriate. In any eviction, the Notice to Quit must allow the tenant at least three full days in which to move.
SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT
The second step in the eviction process is Summons and Complaint. (Form JD-HM-32) and (Form JD-HM-8) If your tenant has still not moved after the last day given in the Notice to Quit, you must return to the clerk's office with the original Notice to Quit, the State marshal's Return of Service, and a completed Summons and Complaint. You must personally return to the court with your completed Summons and Complaint for the clerk's signature on the Summons. Also, bring the original Notice to Quit with the State Marshal's Return of Service. Once the state marshal returns the original Summons and Complaint to you with the Return of Service noted, you must file them at the clerk's office with the original Notice to Quit, at least four days before the return date on the Summons. A lease must be provided. When filing these papers, you must pay an entry fee to the clerk. . Payment must be made at the time of filing by cash or check payable to Clerk, Superior Court.
