The questions your team needs answered
Every evictions and unlawful detainer intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the rental property involved located in the United States? | Confirms the property sits within your practice jurisdiction before you spend consultation time on a matter you likely can't take. |
| Are you the tenant/occupant or the landlord/property owner (or their authorized agent) for this situation? | Identifies which side of the eviction the prospective client is on, which matters for conflict screening and for matching them to the right practice focus. |
| Is there an eviction issue happening now or likely to happen soon (for example, you received a notice, a court paper, or a lockout threat)? | Separates active or imminent eviction threats from general inquiries, since a live notice or lockout threat usually means a real deadline. |
| Have you received any written notice to move out, pay rent, or fix a lease issue? | A written notice already in hand signals the matter has moved past a hypothetical dispute and into a documented process with dates attached. |
| Has a court case for eviction/unlawful detainer been filed, or have you been served with court papers? | A filed or served court case is the clearest signal of litigation urgency, since response deadlines in unlawful detainer cases move fast. |
| Is there a specific person or company on the lease, deed, or notices that you believe is responsible (landlord, property manager, or tenant)? | Naming the responsible landlord, manager, or tenant lets you run a conflict check and gauge how well-documented the dispute already is. |
| Is the main goal to stop or delay an eviction, respond to court papers, or get someone removed from the property? | Clarifies whether the client needs eviction defense, a response to court papers, or help removing an occupant, which shapes how the consultation should be framed. |

Common evictions and unlawful detainer lead scenarios
Notice sent, no case filed yet
The prospective client has received a pay-or-quit or lease-violation notice but no unlawful detainer case has been filed, so the intake flags it as an early-stage matter rather than an active court deadline.
Already served with court papers
A case is already filed and the client has been served, which the intake surfaces immediately given the weight placed on court-filing status so it doesn't sit unread while a response deadline runs.
Landlord planning removal, no notice out
The landlord wants someone removed from the property but hasn't sent a notice yet, so the intake still captures goal and role while making clear the matter hasn't reached the notice or court stage.
Responsible party unclear
The lease or deed doesn't clearly name who's responsible for the notice or the property, which the intake flags so you know upfront whether the opposing party still needs to be identified.
Property outside the United States
The rental property isn't located in the US, which the catalog weights as a poor fit so the intake can route or deprioritize it before it takes up consultation time.

Evictions and Unlawful Detainer lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell if the lead is the landlord or the tenant?
One of the qualifying questions asks directly whether the prospective client is the tenant/occupant or the landlord/property owner (or their agent), so you can see which side of the matter they're on before you call them back.
Can the intake flag a matter that hasn't reached court yet?
Yes — the catalog separately asks whether a written notice has been received and whether a court case has actually been filed or served, so notice-stage and litigation-stage leads are distinguishable at a glance.
Does the intake capture what the client actually wants done?
It asks whether the goal is to stop or delay an eviction, respond to court papers, or get someone removed from the property, which tells you the posture of the matter before the consultation.
What if the client doesn't know who's responsible on the lease or notice?
The intake asks whether a specific landlord, property manager, or tenant is identified on the lease, deed, or notices; if that's unclear, you'll see it flagged rather than finding out mid-consultation.
Will leads on properties outside the US come through the same way?
The intake asks whether the rental property is located in the United States, and that answer carries a low weight for a 'no,' so out-of-jurisdiction matters are scored down rather than treated as strong leads.
What documents does the intake ask for on an eviction matter?
It's built to collect the notice, lease, and any court papers the client has received, so you have the paperwork attached to the lead before you decide whether to schedule a consultation.
