Overview of the Sheriff Lockout Stage
Evicting a tenant can take several months. If the tenant doesn’t object to this, it’s best between 35 and 60 days. However, if a tenant opposes the eviction, it can take longer. Then the court will issue an eviction document notifying residents that they must be out at a specific date and time. Sheriffs post orders on their doorstep, ensure they are removed from the specified property and schedule a lockdown meeting with the landlord/owner.
