Q: My son has been served a 30 day notice of eviction. He has a 1yr old and 6 yr old, can I delay the eviction?
He needs more time to get 1st and last month rent for a new place. He is assuming he wont give the deposit back, the rumor is he never does.
A: If the landlord follows the proper eviction process, it will proceed. If your son is not out on the date specified in the 30 day notice, then the landlord will deliver a 3 day notice and then file the eviction complaint, which will be scheduled in 2 to 3 weeks. If you son goes to the eviction hearing, he can say he needs time to get an attorney. The court might grant a one week delay. Then your son will be evicted at the next hearing, and given 7 to 10 days to get out.
