A "notice of eviction" is a written notice from a City Marshal that warns you that you and your family can be evicted within the next few days. The notice of eviction is the last court paper that needs to be served on you before you are evicted.
An eviction means that the Marshal can come to your apartment, remove you and your family and your belongings from the apartment, and change the door locks.

If you have received a Notice of Eviction, the most important thing to do now is to stop your eviction - here's how:
Go immediately to the Landlord-Tenant Clerk's Office and ask for an Order to Show Cause.
An Order to Show Cause is an order signed by a judge that tells the marshal and landlord not to evict you until the judge has had the chance to hear your case. The Clerk's office in the following locations will help you with your Order to Show Cause.
