Question

After recieveing an eviction notice, how long does one have to get out?

Answer 1

If you're getting evicted, why bother hanging around?  Just get out, don't delay the inevitable.

Answer 2

Arizona Law:

I serve a five day pay or quit.

You fail to pay.

Court date:

Five days after that I file a writ.

Within 48 hours you are locked out.

Answer 3

In the UK...

...unless otherwise told by the landlord you will be on a shorthold tenancy agreement. This means that once an agreement is signed, you cannot be evicted without a good reason within the first 6 months of your tenancy. Even if a shorter fixed period has been agreed, you will not be subject to eviction unless you break the rules of the tenancy agreement. Even after this time, the landlord must give you 2 months’ notice about moving out of the property, unless otherwise agreed by both parties before the tenancy starts.

Also, if a landlord wants to visit the property they have to give you 24 hours’ notice before they can enter. Although the property is legally theirs, as a tenant you have the right to live your life peacefully and without disturbance.

After the initial 6-month period, if no longer fixed-term has been agreed then a landlord can give you notice and evict you at any time for no reason. However, if they fail to give proper notice or try to evict you during a fixed contract, there must be a reason for their actions. This will usually be due to a failure to pay rent or damage to the property.

However, even if you are in rent arrears a landlord has to serve the proper papers and follow certain procedures to evict you. The landlord has to first serve you notice of your eviction and then apply to the courts for a possession order. Not until a possession order has been granted can a landlord actually evict you, and even then if you refuse to leave they cannot physically evict you themselves. They will need to get the bailiffs to remove you from the property.  

Answer 4

You mean how long before the sheriff shows up and you are tossed out?  Well, it varies a bit.  Where I am you have 3 days to pay what you owe.  If you don't the landlord files in court and it can take close to a month for the court to hear the case.  Once the court hears the case, assuming they approve the eviction, the landlord now calls the sheriff to come out to oversee the eviction (they will hire a company to go about removing your stuff from the house, or maybe do it themselves).  This last part takes a few weeks, but the sheriff won't evict if the weather is bad (I kid you not), but anyhow all told its about 2 months before the tenant is tossed.

Answer 5

None, you must vacate immediately.

Answer 6

Unless the eviction notice specifies a time and day. You must go when you get it. You will be allowed sufficient time to remove all of your personal belongings

Answer 7

You mean a "Three Day Pay or Quit" or a court order? With the court order a sheriff could show up at any time and pile all your stuff on the sidewalk. If you mean a simple notice from the landlord then you have until the aforementioned court order is issued.
