The vast majority of evictions are overturned on technicalities.  In one case, a judge ruled against a landlord because his manager slid the 3-Day Notice under the door, instead of posting it, as the letter of the law says.  I personally think posting is barbaric.  It tells the world "This person is a deadbeat, and we're throwing him out."  I just think that information is private, between the parties, until the case has been adjudicated.  Same thing applies to foreclosures.  Then everyone thinks the resident is a bad person, whereas, in fact, he may just have fallen upon hard times.
