Q: After receiving a 60 day eviction notice, how long does a tenant have before receiving a court date or sheriff notice?
A:
Do you mean a sixty-day written notification that the landlord will not renew your lease and that presents a date for you to vacate your home? If so, that is a long way from you losing the case in District Court until there is a judgment against you and a warrant. First, the sixty-day period must end. If there is a defect in the sixty-day notice--the eviction case could be dismissed, and the landlord will start over. For example, if the landlord did not set the day to move out on the day that your rental month ends--that is a defective notice.
But since you know what is headed your way--if you and your landlord cannot come to an agreement on a new lease--you use all the time you have to plan your move--not plan your eviction.
