- If tenant is still on the property we can submit a writ of possession
- Writ of possession issued and a 24 hour notice to vacate is served on tenant
- The Sheriff will call and schedule the removal of the tenant with you
Contested Eviction Process
The tenant has five days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) to file an answer to a landlord’s complaint. If the tenant files an answer to your complaint, the eviction becomes contested. An answer can be any type of response, even a handwritten note from the tenant to the Judge. If an answer has been submitted it is strongly advised that you retain an attorney.
After filing an answer, the case can take many unpredictable turns, depending on what the tenant said in the answer. This can lead to protracted litigation, hearings, mediation, and even trial. Our attorneys can help you navigate through this process and avoid the countless legal pitfalls that you may encounter. This is especially true if the tenant has paid representation or legal aid.
If you don’t have an attorney you risk losing out on rent and damages that may be due to you. In addition, you may end up having your case dismissed and having a tenant living in your property for free.
