Indiana eviction drama

[Dan Wentworth]

Eviction judge tells me my tenant (who is 2 months late) is not made of money & gives him another week to get out. Sheriff comes a week later, he is still not out.  The sheriff calls the judge, the judge says we can lock the property up with his stuff inside & set a time for him to come back.  My response to the sheriff, "why would he come back if he is not doing it while he is here?"  The judge said we could not remove his property & had to give him the opportunity to come back tying up our property even further.  We had sheriff go tell tenant he had to be out by 6pm & luckily he was.  So we avoided further drama but does anyone have any suggestions how to best avoid this in the future?  Thanks in advance for all responses
