If I stopped the marshal’s notice, can they still evict me?

After you serve the order to show cause on the marshal, he or she cannot evict you until after the next court date.

In the hearing, you will get a written decision.

The decision will say if the marshal has to re-serve the eviction notice or if he can evict you on the notice you stopped. The judge may allow the marshal to re-serve you by mail only.

A marshal’s notice is good for 30 days from the date it was served.

The marshal can come back and evict you without re-serving the notice if it has been less than 30 days since it was served and the judge does not require re-service.

If it has been more than 30 days since the last marshal’s notice, the marshal will have to serve you another notice and wait 6 business days before evicting you.
