Assuming that you did everything correctly (ex. serve the 30 day notice), your next step is to file and serve a Notice of Petition and Petition.

The Notice of Petition sets forth the court date. The Petition sets forth the reasons why the Court should award a judgment of possession and warrant of eviction.

If you need help with the eviction, feel free to telephone.

If you served the 30 day notice, do not take any additional rent from them.

If you have taken the rent (after the 30 day notice) serve them a new 30 day notice and do not take the rent. On day 31, serve them with eviction.
