Generally, if you are only seeking to recover possession of your property and the tenant does not respond to our complaint, the process is usually completed in a little under a month. However, if you are seeking to recover past due rent as a hybrid lawsuit, or if your tenant responds to our complaint for eviction, the process is usually completed in less than two months. This is because an eviction to recover past due rent needs to be served on the tenant personally but an eviction solely for possession can be posted. As such, a suit for damages could involve our process server spending extra time trying to sever the tenant rather than just posting it on the property. Also, a response by your tenant would require extra time because hearings may be necessary to resolve the suit.
