When a landlord enters into a lease with a tenant, the lease will generally grant the landlord the power to terminate the lease and evict the tenant from the leased premises if the rent due under the lease is not paid within the specified time period provided in the lease. In order to exercise this power, however, the landlord must comply with the terms of the lease — and any relevant law — specifying the required procedure for termination and eviction.
A recent decision by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, In re Ice Treats One Inc. , illustrates why a landlord must strictly adhere to the terms of a lease, and to the laws of the governing jurisdiction, prior to initiating eviction proceedings.
