Fill out all the Forms and bring them to the County Clerks office in your State/County, for a list of the Clerks office that is closest to you can find them on our Directory of Clerks offices and Courthouse locations:

Directory of County Clerk of Courts Locations in your State. – At the Clerk’s Offices Landlords can Pay the Clerk the Eviction Filing Fees and Then have the official court documents served to the Tenant(s).

*It is our Suggestion to have these Court Documents Served to the Tenant using a Private Process Serving Company in your State. You can find a company to serve the Official Court forms to the Tenant(s) on our National Directory of Process Servers On our Directory find a Process Server to Serve the Summons & Complaint to the Tenant. A Private Process Server will make more attempts to Serve the Official Court Documents to the Tenant and give to you the Return of Service Paperwork which you can bring to the courts showing Service has been properly completed in the eviction case. When you are filing the Default Paperwork or Filing for Damages on the Tenant. The Return of Service in an important Document.

Next: After you have the Tenant Served, You must wait the Required number of days not including Weekends & Holidays in your State, (usually 5 days) 2 things can happen. The Tenant Files an Answer to the Eviction or the Tenant does not file anything.

You will be notified from the Courts as to the Date of the Court Case and you will receive a copy of the reply from the Tenant in the Mail, to the Address that you listed on the Summons. Bring all your Proof with you when you have the Hearing.

*Tenant May File for a Hearing for Rent Determination Stating that they think that they don’t owe this amount? to the Landlord. Either way Make sure that you bring all of your Records, Proof with you to show the Judge how much Rent that is owed. ( and pleas make sure if you are a Landlord or property manager you always give a receipt to the tenant when they pay you any part of the rent, note: date, time and amounts collected and keep your copy)

If the Tenant does not File any Answer to the Courts within the number of Days allowed in your State via the Eviction after being served, You can bring to the Clerk of Courts the Default Paperwork and Ask to get the Default on the Tenant and Ask the Judges to issue a Writ of Possession (sometimes called the 24Hr Notice) thus getting them out and giving you the Apartment Back in your control.

LANDLORDS: DO BACKGROUND CHECKS ON NEW TENANTS, CHECK WITH THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE IN YOUR COUNTY ( SEE IF THEY EVER HAD AN EVICTION BEFORE YOU RENT TO THEM), TAKE PICS OF UNIT BEFORE YOU RENT IT TO ANY TENANT, THIS WILL HELP LATER IF A TENANT HAS ANY QUESTIONS WHEN THEY LEAVE A UNIT ex: THIS WAS PREEXISTING YOU CAN SHOW WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE YOU RENTED IT TO THEM.
