Before evicting a tenant, the landlord must give the tenant a chance to move out or if the tenant has failed to pay rent, to pay the full amount owed. Landlord must provide notice to the tenant with the request:

• 10-Day Notice to Quit (Non-Payment of Rent)
• 30-Day Notice (Month to Month)

If the tenant is committing waste (destroying the property), the landlord does not need to provide notice in order to commence the eviction process.

If the tenant fails to respond to the notice and remains at the premises, the landlord can file an action in the Local Court to evict the tenant, starting with the Complaint Form.

The exact filing fee for eviction varies by county and type of filing. For example:

• Clark County: $87 for electronic filing, $97 for paper filing^[6]
• Lake County: $97 with an additional $10 for each defendant^[7]
• Allen County: $87 with an additional $10 for each defendant^[8]

The landlord must have the complaint and summons served on the tenant, and the tenant will have to show up in court on the date specified by the clerk. If the tenant does not respond, the court will issue an order granting possession to the landlord.
