Eviction Process
In the eviction process, there are court procedures a landlord must follow. A proper vacate notice is needed in order to start an eviction.
Initially, the landlord is required to serve the tenant with a vacate notice. The vacate notice can be a 3-day, 5-day, or 30-day notice. After the vacate notice has been served, the landlord can file a petition for eviction in the Justice of the Peace court.
Shortly after your landlord has filed for eviction, a constable will serve you an eviction citation, which will contain your court date. The eviction citation contains information such as your case number, county, court date, as well as the reason you are being evicted.
At your court hearing, the judge will more than likely rule in favor of the landlord. If you lose your case, you will have five days to move out. Our eviction extension service will allow you to stay in your home during the ongoing eviction. You will receive an extension of 45-90 days with our service.
During the appeal period, the court will ask for an appeal bond to be posted 10 days after your court hearing. If you cannot pay this, please let one of our representatives know in order for us to help you.
