The Process Of Foreclosure

It bears repeating that you have a 30-day reprieve on the eviction if you can pay a month’s rent at the time of filing your bankruptcy petition and meet certain other conditions outlined above. However, this is only practical if you can pay the full past due rent within a time set by the Bankruptcy Court. If you are being evicted for another reason besides past due rent (ie; destruction to the premises, etc.), this rent cure would not cure the reason for your eviction, unless you could hire a bankruptcy attorney to convince the Judge otherwise.

To appeal an eviction from a J.P. court, you will have to post an appeal bond, or post a cash bond with the court. This has to be done within 5 days of the judgment being signed (count weekends and holidays unless the fifth day falls on a day when the court is closed, then the last day is extended to the next day the court is open). The bond is set by the court and is usually two times the amount of the rent. The J.P. court will provide you with a bond form if you request one.

If you choose not to move out or appeal, the Landlord will request a Writ Of Possession, which is a court order directing the constable or sheriff to give the landlord physical possession of the rental unit. The writ cannot be issued until at least five days after the judgment from the eviction hearing (counting weekends [http://bloggingwithjit.blog.com/2013/09/26/know-your-rights-as-a-tenant/ stop eviction california] and holidays). The constable or sheriff must post a 24-hour written notice on your door stating when the constable/sheriff will come over and make you move out. You any other persons who live with you, and all of your possessions, will be removed by the landlord under the supervision of the constable or sheriff.

Oncethe 3-day notice expires and the occupant does not leave, anUnlawful Detainer must be filed by owner. This is the same actionused to evict tenants. After an Unlawful Detainer is filed, theoccupant will have five days to respond to it. If no response ismade, the court can make a judgment for possession within 10 days.Then, the eviction paperwork is forwarded to the county sheriff forcompletion. If there's still no response from the occupant, a trialis set forth within 20 days. If the court rules in favor of eviction,the order is then passed and carried out by the sheriff. ForeclosureEvictions and Tenants

Once the landlord files an eviction suit, a constable will try to hand deliver the eviction suit papers to your home. If the constable or sheriff makes two (2) unsuccessful attempts, they should post the papers in a visible location on the outside of the rental unit and mail you a copy. (It is best to get the papers so you know what is happening. Avoiding being served does not delay the process and might result in you losing the case automatically if you do not know when or where to defend yourself.) Only the constable or the sheriff can legally deliver the eviction suit papers from the court.

Chances are, you're panicked at the moment because the landlord has started evicting you. You feel like a victim. If you feel intimidated or threatened by the process, you're normal.
