Notarial fast-track eviction allows landlords to recover real estate within weeks provided the lease strictly satisfies Law 30933 formal clauses.
Statutory Basis & Binding Precedent:

Law No. 30933 and Peruvian Civil Procedure Code (Art. 594).

Historically, ordinary eviction claims stalled for two to five years in civil courts, causing severe financial losses for property owners.

Under Law 30933, after two months and fifteen days of non-payment or lease expiration, the notary verifies default and the peace judge issues an immediate eviction order.

Strict adherence to formal bank-payment and notarized FUA requirements ensures full enforceability without procedural delays.

Judicial eviction enforcement order in coordination with court authorities.

Procedural Criteria & Legal Rationale

1

Traditional eviction lawsuits used to take years. Law 30933 introduced an accelerated notarial-judicial eviction pathway.

2

To qualify, the lease must be executed by public deed or with notarized signatures on the official FUA lease form.

3

The contract must incorporate both the future acquiescence clause and explicit submission to Law 30933, specifying a dedicated bank account for rent payments.
