Out-of-State Landlord using agent in eviction court?

[Gordon Tanner]

I'm evicting a tenant for non-compliance of the lease terms.  However, I'm an out-of-state landlord.  I have an agent in state to handle all rental issues for me, and the agent is more knowledgeable about the rental issues than me.

My question is -- when I file eviction to court, can I assign my agent to appear in court on my behalf?  Thanks.
