You Are Here: Housing > Date of Eviction
If the notice of eviction is given to you personally, you can be evicted on the fourth business day after that, not counting weekends and legal holidays. If the notice is NOT given to you personally, then you can be evicted on the sixth business day after it is left with someone else in your apartment or left on your apartment door, not including weekends and holidays.
However, since mistakes can happen, you SHOULD NOT WAIT
until the fourth or sixth business day before you do something either
to stop the eviction or to move out of the apartment if that is what you wish to do.
Even if the Marshal can evict you now, you still should go to try to stop your eviction. Most tenants can stop an eviction by following these steps. |
