Re: landlord evictiion rights

You don't have to get out until after you have gone to your forcible entry and detainer hearing in small claims court. Then the justice of the peace will give you a deadline. If the hearing is over and you didn't show up, you probably received a default judgment, but the J.P. still would have given you a deadline to move.
