What must a licensee do if a client does not adhere to state and local laws?

A licensee must take appropriate action if a client does not adhere to state and local laws. This includes the possibility of eviction, but the context is crucial. When clients violate laws, especially regarding property or contractual obligations, it becomes necessary to address these violations to ensure compliance and protect the integrity of the rental agreement and the landlord's property.

Issuing a warning may seem appropriate but does not carry the same weight as taking legal action, which may be required in the case of serious violations. While mediation and providing education on the laws could be part of a broader strategy to manage such situations, they may not rectify the immediate breach of law or obligation. Therefore, eviction can be a necessary step in aligning the client's actions with legal requirements, particularly when they persist in their noncompliance. It's vital to follow due process and local regulations when proceeding with eviction, ensuring that all steps taken are legally sound and justified.
