Does it take longer to evict tenants in tenant friendly states?

[John Morgan]

I’m told it takes about the same amount of time to evict a tenant for non payment of rent in a tenant friendly state vs a landlord friendly state. I’m in Texas and it takes 3 weeks to get a court date to evict. Has anyone had any experiences where it takes longer than this in renter friendly states? I’m being called ignorant over and over by a fellow investor who says that’s not true. She says it takes “about” the same amount of time, and what I’ve “heard” about it taking longer is incorrect. She says she manages properties in over 20 states and says I’m wrong about it taking longer in tenant friendly states. I’d love to hear anyone’s experience with this. Maybe I am wrong and ignorant like she called me at least 25 times for thinking this. Lol

Quote from @John Morgan:

Absolutely different. Some states can take 3-6 months just to get to court, then they won't force the tenant out for more months. Someone just posted a few days ago that it took six months to win the eviction and now it will be another four months before the police will remove the Tenant.

My state takes three days for the first notice, two weeks to get a court hearing, and then the tenant is forced out in 24-48 hours.
