Commonly Used Forms
Below are most of the forms that our clients need to begin an eviction.
Just a note to remind you: if the tenant in question is a subsidized tenant (i.e. Section 8), you will need to use the Section 8 form.
For more information regarding the use of these forms, please refer to the FAQs.
Please note that we are changing to new software, and that will require a single email with a single attachment per email. Any new evictions to start will require a separate email per new eviction with a single attachment with all of the required forms– the notice, lease, ledger, and application for tenancy.
All general emails should be sent to info@puckettredford.com
