Evictions will continue to go forward unless a judge grants your Application. Therefore, you should file your Application as quickly as possible after the Writ has been issued. To reduce the risk that you could be evicted without your Application being heard, it will go before a judge the same day it is filed. You must file your Application by 2:00 p.m. unless the eviction is scheduled to take place on the day of filing or the next day. In that event, the Court will extend the deadline for filing until 4:00 p.m. If you miss the deadline, you must return the next day to file your Application. This allows the Court to conduct business in an orderly manner and to make sure that other cases are not unfairly interrupted. If you are not in the courtroom when your case is called, the Application may be denied.
