Ohio Eviction Questions

Well, we are having to go through our first eviction process. Tenant didn't pay (she's on a lease) and also hasn't paid the water bill so we'll get stuck with that I'm sure. She says she doesn't have the money for rent or water. Gave her a 3 day pay or quit. She said she has no place to go and is staying there and told us to "Do what you have to do". The kicker is this gal used to be a landlord herself at one point so she knows the process.

So we filed with the courts and have a court date coming up. Likely this tenant won't show up in court. So if we win by default, how long does it take from the time we get the judgment to have her officially evicted to the time when the sheriff will go out and remove her? My understanding is we take the judgement documents downstairs to another office in the courthouse and schedule with the sheriff to go out and remove her, but I'm just curious based on other's experience how long it takes to actually get a sheriff to go out to the house and have a tenant removed? Are we talking days...weeks or ??

I've heard they ask them to leave the premises immediately. If they have stuff in the house what happens to all that? Do we just put it out by the curb and it's the tenant's responsiblity to come and get it?
