Learn how to find, purchase, and qualify eviction leads as a legal practitioner.
Eviction leads are a vital source of legal cases for attorneys focused on landlord-tenant law. These leads typically involve property owners seeking legal help to remove tenants who have violated lease terms or failed to pay rent.
Eviction cases often require quick legal action and generate steady client volume, especially in high-rent or urban areas. Attorneys who specialize in this practice area can build efficient workflows to manage frequent case intake and court appearances.
Landlords filed over one million eviction cases in the jurisdictions tracked by the Eviction Lab in 2024. This data, which covers areas home to roughly one-third of renter households, indicates that filing levels are close to pre-pandemic rates. The overall eviction filing rate across cities in the Eviction Tracking System was 7.8% in 2024, meaning nearly eight eviction filings for every hundred renter households. Some cities and states experienced particularly high eviction filing rates in 2024. For example, Phoenix, Arizona, had a rate of 14.3%, with over 86,000 eviction filings. In Virginia, there were over 136,000 eviction filings between August 2023 and August 2024, resulting in the highest eviction rate nationally, with 13 out of every 100 renter households facing the possibility of losing their homes. Washington state also saw a record number of eviction filings in 2024.
