An answer is due within 5 days from the time the complaint is served on the tenant. If the attorney representing the landlord is on top of everything, a memorandum to set the case for trial is filed with the court immediately after the answer is received and the court will set the case for trial usually within two to three weeks. Once the case is tried, a judgment will be rendered by the court. If the tenant loses the case, he or she will have a short period of time within which to move out, usually one week. If the tenant does not move out in time, the sheriff will post a notice to move out within one week. If the tenant is still not out one week later, the sheriff will escort the tenant out, giving back possession...
