[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just following up on this, OP here.

Court went well for me as a landlord. I was awarded a default and redeemable judgment at the Initial Hearing and am awaiting an eviction date from US Marshals Service (USMS) at this point.

I'm so thankful that I stuck to my guns and didn't pay him to leave. With the ERAP payments I received, the tenant will still be out with less than a year of outstanding payments.

To the PP, no I didn't wait 6 months to file. I filed twice, in fact, but the first request was dismissed pending ERAP payments which were ultimately awarded. The tenant was given 60 days to move without penalty thereafter but remained. Receiving a court date and then awaiting the initial hearing is what took the most time, almost 7 months in all.[/quote]

He is not out yet. Report back when he actually vacates. You cannot evict him right now because of temperature so you are looking at March before temperature goes up and probably April before the Marshals clear the backlog from the winter. My guess is that he applies for ERAP again. Merely having a erap request prevents you from executing the writ. Whether he gets the erap funds or not your writ will expire. You will need to file again for a new writ (called an Alias writ) for failing to execute the old one quickly enough. The judge may or may not schedule a hearing to determine whether he should grant the new writ. He will grant it. The hearing could easily be in 2025. [/quote]
