Eddie Young

Delays In FilingShort delays in filing an eviction can lead to big delays in the date of your hearing.

The Most Common (and Preventable) Reasons for Delays in Filing Include: • Waiting on payment to be issued for court costs• Short staffing on specific days prevent staff from leaving to file evictions• Absence of accountability due to insufficient reporting• Other tasks cloud the staff’s ability to properly prioritize filing evictions• Lack of knowledge that creates a ripple effect caused by delaying filing

When To File

Generally speaking, the best days to file evictions are…

Travel To TrialHow many trips are you taking to court every month?

What do those trips cost you in time and productivity?

Mistakes On Paperwork

• Mistakes on paperwork can lead to amending the petition or having to refile the case.

• Both amendment and refiling cost you more money and time.

• E-Filing is not immune.

Fine and Penalties• A SCRA mistake can cost you $110,000 or more in civil penalties

• Failing to follow the same process for all tenants could lead to a fair-housing law suit.

Non-Revenue Time• Divide you average rent by 30 days.

• You are losing that much money every day at every unit where you delay filing your eviction.

• For the cost of a 2-3 delay you could pay a professional to handle the eviction for you.

When most properties are notified of an appeal they tend to seek the help of an attorney which can cost from $1200 - $1500 per case.
