What must be filed for the eviction process to begin after a landlord has waited three days and serves a tenant a notice to pay or vacate the premises?

  1. A complaint for eviction

  2. A writ of possession

  3. Evictus nuncus

  4. The lease

The correct answer is: A complaint for eviction

After giving the tenant 3 days to pay or vacate the premises, the landlord must file a complaint for eviction to officially begin the eviction process. A writ of possession is only necessary if the tenant fails to leave after the eviction judgement is issued. Evictus nuncus is not a valid legal term and the lease is simply the agreement between the landlord and tenant, not a document that initiates eviction proceedings.
