R|ReLo #15a: ERRATA on COUNTDOWN

i got a little over-zealous with the April 21 and 28 dates (ugh!).

SHORT STORY: May 5 through 10 ... or earlier ... or later ...

LONGER VERSION: today's (04/20) scoop from our lawyer:

Our trial department should be calling you on Monday morning to ascertain whether or not [TENANT] has complied with the stipulation.

[iow, law firm will call me on 04/24. we heart our law firm! (i'll get a call from our peeps re: TENANT status!]

Assuming that your tenant does not comply, the next step is to notify the court of your tenant's noncompliance with the stipulation and to request that the court enter judgment in your favor based on his noncompliance with the stipulation.

[iow, lawyer will call the court to let them know TENANT hasn't left.]

We generate all the necessary documents and file those documents on your behalf. The process (from filing of the additional documents to the point at which the court issues judgment in your favor and issues writs of possession) usually takes a day or so, depending on court's docket. The process can begin on the business day after the deadline for your tenant to comply ... more specifically, Monday, April 24, 2006.

[iow, law firm files the paperwork w/court on Monday, so we get the paperwork to lawfully get tenant out.]

Once the court has entered judgment in your favor and has issued writs of possession pursuant to the relevant stipulation terms, the next step is to obtain a lockout date from the Sheriff's department. Typically the sheriff sets lockouts for about a week to 10 days after receiving writs of possession [emphasis added].

[iow, court issues paperwork with the lockout date that is ~ 7-10 days out from receipt of the court paperwork.]

So, if I had to guess, if MR. TENANT doesn't comply with the stipulation, we're probably looking at a lockout date of somewhere between the fifth and tenth of May. However, that is an estimate ... it could be earlier, it could be later. It simply depends on the sheriff's schedule.

O.K. --- May 5 through 10 ...
or earlier ... or later ...
some time in early- to mid-May is the target date.

well ... what this means, at a minimum:

• Moki reports - we'll have more of those, i suppose; Moki has to do that 'relieving' thing. what better place than a car tire? (well, there are better places, but a car tire is o.k., too.)
• another calendar - now i gotta post some more dates. took me a while to format the april 2006 dates.
• someone else takes photo, maybe - i'll be on travel during the early part of the potential lockout dates, so photos will be by someone else. i'll have to live vicariously.
