I'm living in a condo that was owned by a family member. It was sold to the HOA by the Sheriff last November. They just posted a three day notice on my door. Do they still have to get the Sheriff to serve me with a summons and get a judge to order me evicted?
George,
You are correct. The Notice is the first step of the eviction process. The next step will be serving you with a summons and complaint compelling you to Answer the Complaint to the court. If you fail to Answer the Court may issue a Default Judgment for possession in favor of the HOA. Then the HOA will have to obtain a Writ of Restitution where the Court then Orders the Sheriff to remove you from the property.
If you have a defense to this eviction I may be able to help, call my office at 303-688-0944.
