Prejudgement claim of right to possession?
• When the Sheriff serves the tenants the eviction notice, they also serve a form called a “Claim of Right to Possession” on the rental property. This gives persons other than the tenants named in the eviction suit notice of the eviction and notice that they can now claim to be a tenant. If a person then makes this claim, a whole new trial will need to be performed regarding that person. Usually that person is a relative and was never a tenant. The purpose is always to stall the eviction. • A Prejudgment Claim of Right to Possession is the name of a form that we have the Process Server serve on the rental unit. This prevents a person from claiming later that they were a tenant in the property. This prevents surprises at the lock out and reduces the average time of evictions. We do this for you free of charge.
