Tenant’s Guide to Vacating or Removing Property After Summons

Nemat Law Firm

When tenants need to transfer or remove property during eviction proceedings, they can follow these steps:

  1. Procedure:
    • Legal Compliance: Ensure compliance with all legal requirements and court procedures.
    • Avoiding Writ of Possession: Vacating or removing all property promptly after receiving a summons may help tenants avoid a writ of possession.
  2. Landlord’s Rights:
    • Money Judgment: Despite property transfer and return of keys, landlords may still pursue a money judgment for unpaid rent or damages.
  3. Consultation:
    • Legal Advice: It’s advisable for tenants to consult with a legal professional to understand their rights and obligations regarding property transfers during eviction proceedings.

Understanding these steps allows tenants to manage their property rights effectively while navigating eviction processes and potential legal disputes.
