how many days before i am evicted from my apartment?

Answer 1

It depends on the state and sometimes the local or county jurisdiction. In New Jersey, the landlord has to obtain a Judgment of Possession first. Depending on the landlord's policies, it might take a month or so to get this judgment. Some landlords are lax and don't file a complaint with tenancy court for some time, maybe even a couple of months. In any event, you would know about it because you would receive a summons from the court. The judge will ask a couple of basic questions, such as "Do you owe the rent?" and "Are you going to pay it?" If the answers to the first two questions are 'yes', then the judge's next question might be something like "Do you have the rent with you?" The judge always wants to give the tenant a last chance to pay the rent before he/she issues a Judgment of Possession. You have until the end of the court day to make a payments and stop the process. If you do not pay, the landlord can make immediate arangements with a constable who will come to the apartment and make sure no one is in it as a padlock is placed on the door or the locks are changed, and then the constable will place a notice on the apartment door to the effect the landlord has possession. This whole process can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to a couple of months depending on how fast the landlord moves on it.

I used to be a landlord and did this sort of thing all the time.

Answer 2

Depending on what state you are in... I am in Texas and your rent actually has to be late, then you have to be given PROPER NOTICE (which is a 3 day notice to vacate either handed to you, put on the INSIDE of your apartment, or put on the outside of your apartment PLUS certified return receipt mail), then after the 3 days the landlord files at the courthouse it is normally 2-3 weeks before you go in front of the judge. Then the Judge will give you 5 days to move out (when you see the judge you have been evicted!!), if you do not move out with in 5 days the landlord can file for a writ of possession, that is a 24 hour notice then the constable comes and sets your stuff outside!


Check with your local justice of the peace's office to find out what the PROPER NOTICE is.

Answer 3

Your landlord should mail you a certified letter asking you to vacate at least one month before your lease or month to month rent expires. If you fail to leave by that date, your landlord can then file a judgement against you in court. If you don't show up you will surely get no consideration, and he will be able to file a warrant of removal and have the constable come to remove you within days. If you do show up to court you may be able to come up with an agreement giving you some more time. You are always responsible for the rent owed even after you recieve the notice to evict if you do not leave as well as any damage done to the apartment by you.

Answer 4

30 days from the time the eviction notice was served. Good luck in finding a new apartment...

Answer 5

I think the time may vary from state to state. In some states, you must vacate within 60 days from the date of your eviction notice.
