Filing an eviction does not mean that the person receiving the eviction notice will be evicted from the home. According to the Maricopa County Justice Court. In some cases, evictions are filed and disputes between residents and landlords are handled out of court. In some cases, the matter may go to court to resolve the issue.
Even if the landlord files for eviction, the tenant can still pay the “past due” amount before the judge issues a judgment. Some tenants may move out before the eviction goes to court. Population growth also tends to lead to an increase in eviction filings.
