Evictions

Eviction Process

1. Late Rent and Pay or Quit Notice

  • Rent is considered late if unpaid by the 6th of the month.

  • On the 6th, we issue a 10-day Pay or Quit notice to the tenant, giving them the opportunity to pay the rent or vacate the property.

2. Filing for Eviction

  • If payment is not made within 10 days of the notice, we proceed with filing for eviction on the 11th day.

  • The court schedules a hearing within 7–10 days of filing.

3. Eviction Hearing

  • During the hearing, both parties present their case.

  • If the court rules in our favor, a Judgment for Possession is issued.

  • The tenant has 10 days to appeal the decision.

4. Writ of Possession

  • After the 10-day appeal period, we request a Writ of Possession from the court.

  • This document authorizes the sheriff to enforce the eviction by padlocking the property.

  • The sheriff notifies the tenant and completes the lockout within 5 days.

5. Post-Lockout Belongings

After the lockout, tenants have 5–7 days to arrange the removal of their belongings, depending on their value.
