Most courts can only allow a tenant to stay if the tenant has the entire arrearage. Some courts won't even do that.
In Virginia, the eviction process typically takes about 30 to 60 days from the filing of the unlawful detainer (eviction) lawsuit to the final court ruling, depending on the court’s schedule and whether the tenant contests the eviction. If the tenant does not respond or appears in court, the process may be quicker. However, if the tenant contests the eviction, it can take longer due to potential delays from court hearings and appeals. After a judgment, additional time may be needed for the landlord to coordinate the physical eviction with local law enforcement.
No, a landlord cannot file a Writ of Possession without first obtaining a judgment for eviction through the legal eviction process. The Writ of Possession is a court order that allows law enforcement to remove a tenant from a property, but it requires that the landlord has formally filed for and received an eviction judgment. Without this prior step, the landlord does not have the legal standing to file for a Writ of Possession.
In most states is the landlord who has to follow every step of the eviction process. If at any time the landlord chooses to accept money in exchange for allowing you to remain in the dwelling, then the eviction process is canceled - even if a writ of ejectment has already been signed by a judge.
No, a stay of eviction is simply a delay in the eviction process, which may be the result of a dispute, such as of how much rent to pay.
In Arizona, an eviction can typically show on a tenant's rental history within one to two months after the eviction process is completed. This timeframe can vary depending on the court's processing time and how quickly the landlord reports the eviction to tenant screening services. Additionally, if the eviction is contested, it may take longer for the final judgment to be recorded. Once recorded, it can remain on a tenant's record for several years.
This does not invoke special rights to the tenant. The only basic right is that the landlord cannot harass you during this eviction process, and that the landlord cannot change the locks on your door until a judge signed an order stating that you must move. However, you must follow the instructions that are attached to the eviction notice. For example, in many states you must pay to the clerk's office the amount of rent you owe to the landlord in order to get a hearing date, or the judge may sign a default judgment for eviction. Also note that in most states the landlord has to take every step to complete the eviction process. For example, in order for a judgment to be issued against the tenant for eviction, the landlord must file a motion for this to happen.
This depends upon the reason for the eviction, as the process is normally faster when it's an eviction for nonpayment of rent. An eviction process for this type of eviction is about three weeks from the date the eviction is filed, keeping in mind that before the eviction can get filed the landlord must post a three day notice on the door or deliver it otherwise to the tenant. If the eviction is for other reasons than the process can be longer but the tenant will still have to pay rent, more likely to the clerk's office instead of the landlord (the landlord will eventually get that money -14% in fees for the clerk).
If the tenant did not vacate (self and property) within 24 hours of notice of judgment of eviction, then the property left behind can be seized. You can delay and fight eviction though, and the process itself takes some time. They have to give you a notice to vacate, and then an Rule for Possession, and then there is a court date, and then you can appeal, and if all that fails you have 24 hours to get out after the judgment.
To begin the eviction process you will need to contact an attorney who specializes in tenant law.
To take out a judgment against someone, you typically need to file a lawsuit in court, provide evidence to support your claim, and go through the legal process. If the court rules in your favor, a judgment will be issued against the defendant. You may then need to take steps to enforce the judgment, such as garnishing wages or placing a lien on property.
You can't. A process server is almost like an officer of the court. A judge will take his word. And it doesn't matter if the server lied...it's your word against his. And you saying he lied is like someone telling a judge that the parking ticket must have blown off the car. I bet the judge has heard your accusation a million times. The odds you can stop a lockout eviction after the fact are low.
Security deposit protects agains damage. Not much really protects the landlord against failure to pay rent, except maybe a last-month-rent deposit. Whenever a tenant falls behind on rent, the landlord should move quickly to start the eviction process. They can always slow down later.
