Unlawful Detainer (eviction):
Timeline: “As Fast as the Law Allows”
From start-finish (initial filing through sheriff’s lockout): 3-6 weeks
Factors in determining timeline include how the tenant is served the initial court paperwork (Summons & Complaint), and whether or not the case goes to trial.
A personal serve gives the tenant 5 days to contest the information and request a hearing date.
A sub-serve gives the tenant an additional 10 days.
If the tenant is unable to be served, a motion for an “Order to Post” is required. This document must be signed by a judge and can delay the process a few days. Once it is signed, it is mailed to the tenant; there is a 15-day allowance for the tenant to file an answer.
In the event that the tenant files an answer, the court will set a hearing date 11-21 days in the future. Once we receive notification of a hearing date & time we inform you via telephone, and follow-up with a letter.
