A forcible entry and detainer is an action that a landlord or new property owner can take if the existing occupant refuses to leave after appropriate notice. The laws governing for cible entry and detainer actions are different if the property is residential or non -residential. The tenant/occupant must receive a written demand to vacate the property. The term of the period to vacate is dictated by the type of occupancy - whether com mercial or residential, and whether a tenant or an owner that was foreclosed on. This term normally is either 5 or 7 days, unless the contract states otherwise. After the 5 -7 days expire and the tenant/occupant still refuses to leave, then a complaint for a forcible detainer action can be filed. The statutes provide for a short notice period before a court hearing. The sole issue at the court hearing is whether or not the tenant/occupant has the right to possession.
