Eviction case tracking and notices

Evictions are the one workflow where every step has to be auditable, the notices have to follow state law to the letter, and the timing has to be exact. The Evictions tab is built for that.

Eviction case lifecycle:
1. **Pre-notice** — delinquency tracked from the Rent Collection cycle. A tenant 30+ days late lights up as Delinquent.
2. **Notice issued** — pick the notice type: Pay-or-Quit, Cure-or-Quit, Unconditional-Quit, Lease-Violation. The system picks the state-correct version and the legal cure period.
3. **Cure period** — clock running. Tenant can cure (pay rent, fix the violation) and the case auto-closes.
4. **Filed** — eviction filed with the court. Capture the court, case number, hearing date.
5. **Hearing** — record the outcome (Judgment for landlord / Judgment for tenant / Continuance / Settlement).
6. **Writ of possession** — if you got the judgment, the writ is captured here with the lockout date.
7. **Closed** — case is fully done; ledger of rent owed (less any settlement) is transferred to Accounting AR Bad Debt.

State-aware templates:
The notice library carries a vetted, state-specific template for each notice type. The CTA on the case detail says "Generate California Pay-or-Quit (3-day)" not just "Generate notice" — because state X may need 3 days, state Y may need 14, and getting it wrong invalidates the filing.

Verified-by-Turtini PDFs:
Every notice is generated as a verified PDF (QR + SHA-256). When the tenant disputes service in court, you can show the court the QR-verifiable record of exactly what they were served with and when.

Hash-chained audit log:
Every state transition (notice issued, served, filed, hearing, judgment) writes an entry to a tamper-evident hash chain. Print or export the audit log as a court-ready PDF from the case detail.

What we don't do:
Turtini doesn't represent you in court, pick your strategy, or guarantee outcomes. State landlord-tenant law varies enormously and contains traps. For anything contested, talk to a landlord-tenant attorney. The module is the recordkeeping infrastructure around your case, not a replacement for legal counsel.
