Re: What happens when a 3day notice is filed on a tennent in commercial property
The three-day notice is the first required step for a landlord to begin eviction proceedings. The landlord must file an eviction action and obtain a judgment of eviction before the sheriff can be involved to move your property out. Thus, the landlord is bluffing at this point in that he can not legally have your property removed until he obtains a judgment for eviction. In order to respond to any eviction complaint, you should note that you must pay your rent into the Court Registry before filing a response or you will be defaulted. Feel free to contact me if you should require any assistance.
