But the legal system does not provide any practical way to get them out in 5 days. You could call the police, but they would likely say to... View More

They are saying they aren’t going to leave until a month after said date. Can I file an eviction on them? There was never a lease, just an oral agreement.
answered on Jul 18, 2018

The court will then schedule an eviction hearing. Check the local court for the notice form to give and the process to... View More

It is common practice for the court to request proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law from the parties. If you don't submit one, the court will likely adopt those submitted by the other party whole, which of course, will not favor any of your positions.
