Q: can a landlord evict without a court order in indiana?

My wife has a emotional support animal paper from her doctor. The landlord won't accept it. He put a paper on my door saying " The rental agreement is immediately terminated and you are directed to deliver possession of the property to the landlord on or before 6/22/2018

A: No. An eviction is a court order. Your landlord must file for an eviction at the courthouse. You will be served with a complaint that will direct you to appear at the courthouse at a specified date and time. It is only after that hearing will a judge issue an eviction order.
