How long will the eviction process take after I receive a notice to quit?

If you remain on the premises after the time given to vacate in the notice, then your landlord will have to file an "unlawful deatiner" action in court; this is an eviction lawsuit. However, it can take several weeks to go to trial. Once it does, assuming that the court isues a "writ of possession" to your landlord, they will then have the right to take back the premises. If you still remain on the property, your landlord can have a sheriff physically remove you if ncessary; that will take another week or so. Therefore, in answer to your question, you most probably have anywhere from 3-6 weeks or more before you have to leave.
