Eviction in Cleveland - Timeline?
I'm in the process of evicting a tenant and am suspecting my property manager is giving me the run-around and dragging their feet. I hope I'm wrong, but the timeline seems suspicious...
Everything I've read online has stated 3 weeks for court date after 3-day eviction notice, and then 3-7 days after the court date to vacate. It should take about 5 weeks.
Here's my timeline.
-Sept 12 - Property manager claims the eviction has been filed.
-Oct 16th - Property manager claims this is the court date.
-Nov 6th - Property manager claims this is the move out date.
Everything I've read states 3-7 days move out after the court date. In my instance the property manager is claiming that the court allowed a 3-week move out. Is this common or am I paranoid?

I've only experienced a delay around the November and December holidays and the setback only adds a week. For the remaining months, the eviction timeframe has been as you envisioned...4-5 weeks. If your investment property is in Cleveland and not the suburbs, you're probably getting the runaround. Have you yet to request the eviction filing docs and/or receipt from your PM?
