An eviction action for nonpayment of rent would ordinarily be started?

An eviction action for nonpayment of rent is typically initiated by the landlord filing a complaint in the appropriate court after providing the tenant with a notice to pay rent or vacate. This notice generally specifies the amount owed and gives the tenant a set period to remedy the situation. If the tenant fails to pay or move out within that timeframe, the landlord can proceed with the eviction process by formally filing the case in court. The court then schedules a hearing to resolve the matter.
