EVICTIONS

Evictions are the end result of a landlord tenant dispute. The eviction process involves three steps.

1. Demand for possession or rent. This document may be served by anyone over the age of 18 not related to the action.

2. Summons and unlawful Detainer. This document has a court date set for both the plaintiff and defendant to appear before the judge. Possession of the property is ordered returned to the plaintiff at this step after 48 hrs have expired and the judge issues the Writ of Restitution. This document may be served by anyone over the age of 18 not related to the action.

3. Writ of Restitution, the document issued by the court to return the possession of the property back to the property owner. This document is brought to the sheriff's office for a scheduling appointment. This document is required to be served by the sheriff's office.
