I mentioned my tenant several times in this forum. She was a holdover in October 2020 and refused to leave because she took advantage of the pandemic. Her husband left with their infant child when their lease was up but she stayed because she knew she could. My attorney sent her a pay or quit in February 2021 and once she got it she texted me telling me to take her to court. In June 2021, I kept hearing the eviction moratorium was being extended, I even contacted my attorney and he said there was nothing I can do until August. I called the local court in my area and asked if I could start the eviction paperwork now so when the moratorium is over I would not have to wait long and the clerk told me that the judge was currently hearing evictions. I got on the phone with my Attorney right away and he called the court and got a date for July 6. He went to court and my tenant informed the judge that she was disabled (new information to me, she wasnāt disabled when she moved in the year prior with her husband) and had no place to go but the judge told her to be out by August 27. I received the warrant yesterday and took it to the sheriff and hopefully sheāll be out end of August. Bottom line is call the court directly, had I not I would have still been waiting. This tenant owes me $15,375. She has paid absolutely nothing and her favorite words are ātake me to court.ā Iām glad I did. She didnāt even fill out the hardship form which was sent to her by my attorney when he sent her the paperwork to attend court. If she would have filled out the hardship paperwork the judge probably wouldnāt have heard the case.
