Court

Every case is different, but here are the typical steps involved in the dispossessory and writ of possession process.

Dispossessory Filing:

  1. The Court will enter the dispossessory information in their system and a case number will be assigned.
  2. The dispossessory warrant is then served to your tenant.
  3. Once the dispossessory warrant has been served, the tenant will have seven days to file and answer with the court.
  4. On the eighth day after service, the property manager/landlord can request a writ of possession if the tenant has not filed an answer.
  5. If the tenant files an answer, the court will assign a court date and time.
  6. Answers and hearing dates for dispossessory cases are forwarded to the property manager/landlord. Each property manager/landlord can have different forwarding instructions for handling of hearings.
  7. We will follow up with the property manager/landlord after any court hearings. In many cases, a writ of possession must be issued to regain access to the property.

***NOTE: IF AT ANY TIME AFTER FILING THE DISPOSSESSORY WARRANT THE LANDLORD/PROPERTY REPRESENTATIVE ACCEPTS ANY FORM OF PAYMENT FROM THE TENANT, THE DISPOSSESSORY PROCESS MUST BE IMMEDIATELY CANCELLED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN UNLAWFUL EVICTION AND LIABILITY ON THE PART OF THE LANDLORD/PROPERTY.***

Hearing

We will follow up with the property/landlord after the hearing. In many cases, a Writ of Possession needs to be issued. We will request it (give an exact time frame, eg.: within 48 hours). If a consent order is executed, we will follow up ensuring the terms are completed as required by the court.

Writ of Possession and Set Out:

  1. Once the property manager/landlord request the writ of possession and it is filed with the court, the judge will sign the writ of possession and the set out can be scheduled.
  2. Self & Associates will contact the property manager/landlord with a possible set out date and time. We will follow-up with the Marshall or Sheriff’s Office to schedule the set out; however, Self & Associates has no control over the Marshall or Sheriff’s Office and does not control when the set out is placed on their schedule. It is the Marshall or Sheriff’s Office that determines their schedules.
  3. Prior to set out, it is important that the property manager/landlord walk the unit to confirm that the physical eviction needs to be performed. This avoids any unnecessary trip charges.
  4. A representative of property management/landlord must be available to sign for the authorization of the set out when the eviction crew arrives.
  5. Upon completion of the set out process, a representative from the property management/landlord must be present to secure the residence.
