However, in terms of eviction, a property owner can file an eviction notice against a tenant at any time of the year if the tenant fails to pay or is in violation of the lease agreement. The eviction action can take several weeks to complete, from start to finish; however, there is no law preventing a property owner from evicting a tenant during the winter.
Although there is no official difference between winter evictions and evictions at other times, some judges in states with severe winters are more reluctant to displace tenants during the winter. This is especially true if the tenants have children, are elderly, or ill.
Where I live, the common wisdom about bad tenants is "get them out before the snow flies." Otherwise, the judges are much more likely to encourage you to "work something out" before straight out removing renters.
As a LL, I see this both ways. On one hand, it is very offensive to me to potentially not to get legal relief when it is due. But, the reality is putting someone on the street at the wrong time of year is down right dangerous where I live.
It's just a situation I'm glad I haven't faced, yet.
Because the season change does not change the eviction laws or procedures.
You are evicted normally for two major reasons
#1 Failing to pay your rent as agreed
#2 Violating a lease or rental contract violation
If the eviction happened to be in the winter with the temp below zero, you would still be evicted with a signed eviction notice signed by a judge.
If you fail to leave the rental unit based on the time frame of the signed eviction notice, a local law enforcement agent would show up at the rental unit to have you physically removed from the rental unit.
No one is allowed to stay in a rental unit and be supported by a landlord for the tenant failure to properly have a financial plan, no matter the season.
I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
"FIGHT ON"
Lets be clear: An eviction is for cause, not paying rent, not following terms of the rental contract. That is different from a notice to terminate tenancy, usually 30 day's depending. A landlord can terminate tenancy any time of year by giving proper notice. However if you are not paying rent a landlord is entitled to get the property back through what is called an 'unlawful detainer' action in court. I have never heard there is a seasonal exception. The landlords property tax, mortgage and other expenses continue 24/7/365 so landlords are entitled after due process to get their property back to find a paying tenant. Social service agencies, winter shelters take over for those who can't afford housing. Or friends and family if you haven't previously burned that bridge.
Though there isn't a standard big difference involving winter months evictions along with evictions in various other periods, a number of all judges throughout claims using significant winters will be more unlikely for you to displace tenants in the winter months. This runs specifically true if your tenants get young children, are generally aged, as well as not well.

Meth.You can make some phone calls, Health and welfare, and Hud will tell you the rules.We have a book that explains our rights.
I have had to evict renters with children just before Christmas. I don't look at it as if I am doing something bad to them - but that they need to move because they are unable to keep their agreement. The landlord has expenses to pay and without the rent income that hurts them also.
I think There are no rules for evicting tenants is winter time and any other seasons because the seasons change nothing.
Tenants can be evicted at any time of the year if they have violated the lease. LL's are not required to support the tenants simply because it is winter.
The same as the rules for evicting them in the summer. Season changes nothing.

There is no rules for evicting renters.
there's no difference for winter time. And remember, it is Law Enforcement that actually carries out the eviction.
Weather is not relevant to eviction.

There is no rules for evicting renters.
As long as you give them the required notice (usually 2 months) there is no differentiation made as to season.
the summer rules are
you want them to leave you evict them
the winter rules are
you evict them if you want them to leave
There is none in the US. This is an urban myth. If you violate the lease you get evicted no mater what time of year it is.
There is no law forbidding landlords from evicting tenants any time of the year.
No different than evicting them in the summertime, springtime, or fall. They don't get free place to live because they violate the lease in the wintertime.
