Q: How much time does one have to get belongings once served an eviction notice due to 249.50 short on rent?
A:
It depends on the notice you are referring to. If it is a three day notice from the landlord, it means that if you do not pay the money owed or move out within three business days the landlord can sue for eviction. The landlord then files the eviction action in court and you will be served with a summons giving you five business days to respond. After the five days have passed, the landlord can get an order of possession signed by the judge and then the Clerk of Court will issue a Writ of Possession for the deputy sheriff to deliver. When you receive the Writ of Possession you will have 24 hours to move out.
