Eviction while managing out of state

[Elizabeth Park]

Hello, 

I manage the rentals myself because our manager recently resigned. I need to evict someone in Indiana and I live in California.  What is the process. Do I have to hire an attorney for this and how much will it cost? Thank you for your help!

Yes, I highly recommend you get an attorney to make sure notices are sent properly and court is filed correctly etc.  No idea of cost for the state or how long it will take in Indiana.  In Delaware the process takes about 3 months start to finish (or more) so the sooner you get started the better.
