Robert Steele Evicting the same tenant twice
28 October 2011 | 15 replies
Yes I have been told by court clerks that if you file in November it could be next year before you get them out.The court system between Thanksgiving and Christmas takes almost a month off here.So what is already a back log becomes a tidal wave.So for those months if you have a questionable tenant in August and September work to get them out an re-rented before the Holidays.Other wise you will go months without rent.I also learned another tidbit of info the other day.Hear you file eviction,if tenant files answer you go to court,if you win you get a judgement if they answer and if not just a writ.The writs with the Marshalls office are backed up.So from time of writ it is supposed to be about 4 to 7 days.I am supposed to have at least 3 people to throw the stuff out while the marshal waits.Lately the writs have been taking 3 to 4 weeks costing another month of lost rent.In that case I have to take them to small claims court for the next months rent after the judgement while waiting for the writ to be carried out.They have these eviction companies that call you.They say they can get the writ performed in about 4 to 5 days instead of 3 to 4 weeks.They say they work directly with the marshall and for 160 bucks they have a team of 9 people come out and empty the items in 15 to 20 minutes tops.Even though the marshall is supposed to go in order they give priority to landlords using the eviction company as they know they won't get just 2 or 3 helpers taking sometimes an hour or more with the eviction.So if this is true if I paid 160 and got out a tenant fast then it is worth not losing another months rent.If I was already losing that month and faster didn't make a difference I wouldn't pay the 160.
