Hot Topic!
But where is the front door?!
Yes, entry points are that important.
Here are the highlights:Ā
- Start with the End in Mind: Every eviction process begins when our legal staff anticipates potential challenges to ensure a smooth resolution later on.
- Common Errors: Minor clerical mistakes, particularly in address street numbers, unit numbers, and/or zip codes, can lead to significant delays in the eviction process.
- Sheriff's Role: The sheriff will reject eviction lockouts due to small errors, which can prolong the lockout process by weeks.
- Address Accuracy: It's crucial to verify that the property address, including unit numbers and ZIP codes, is completely accurate to avoid complications.
- Room Rentals: For properties with individual room rentals, providing a layout map and room numbers is essential for clarity during the eviction.
- Permitting and Designation: Ensure all units are clearly identified, especially accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or multi-unit properties.
- Entry and Exit Points: Knowing and documenting where tenants enter and exit is vital for posting eviction notices correctly.
- Documentation and Access: Always have keys or codes ready for access during the eviction process; the sheriff will not wait for assistance.
- Naming All Occupants: Identify and name all tenants and occupants involved in the eviction to prevent disputes during the lockout.
- Finalizing the Eviction: Ensure the property is secured before the sheriff leaves by changing the locks while heā€™s there.
