Q: We have a Judgement Landlord-Tenant Order. It was ordered (b) The Plaintiff can apply for an order evicting the
defendant if the defendant does not move out on or before 2/16/2016, does this mean we will be locked out on the 16th?
We're in Oakland county, MI.
Thank You.
A:
Not just locked out, but the sheriff can come and remove your belongings and put them out to the curb too. If you need extra time to move out properly, you need to contact the landlord.
DO NOT ignore this. It just gets more expensive if you do. Seek qualified local legal help (many areas have tenant aid groups who can help for little or no cost) to insure you don't make this worse.
