What actually happens during an eviction?
This varies by state but generally it follows one of two paths. First path: 1) You receive a notice to vacate the premises within 72 hours. 2) You leave within the time limit. Second path: 1) You receive a notice to vacate the premises within 72 hours. 2) You fail to leave 3) The bank or new owner goes to court to ask for a hearing to decide if and when you should be evicted. 4) At the hearing the judge decides whether or not you should be evicted and if evicted, how long you can stay before moving out. (offering to pay rent will often sway the judge to grant you more time) 5) If the judge decides you are to be evicted, most states allow you 10 days to appeal the decision. 6) Once the court orders your eviction and you have not moved out by the court designated date, the bank or new owner may obtain an execution of the eviction judgment which gives the sheriff the right to physically remove you from the premises. 7) The sheriff gives you between 24 to 72 hours (depending on your state)
