Legal eviction is a process that takes a minimum of 45 days from the service of the 3 day notice to pay or quit or the 30 day notice of termination. Complaint has to be filed and served on the tenant. Tenant has 5 days to answer. Trial is set in about 3 weeks after answer. If judgment in favor of landlord, sheriff generally allows 1-2 weeks to move out.

Until a judgment has been entered giving the landlord possession a tenant can not be forced to move. Once the Judgment is entered, then a writ of possession will be issued by the court. The Writ is served by the Sheriff on the tenant and five days later the Sheriff will enforce the writ by removing the tenant from the premises.

You have 10 days from the entry of the judgment of possession.
