Eviction / Summary Process

1. Verifying Legal Authority

Before taking action, Pro Constable will carefully review the required documentation and help ensure:

• The Execution for Possession is valid and has not expired.
• Any stays issued by the court have been lifted.
• There are no known bankruptcy filings or other court orders preventing execution.
• The parties and property match the court documents.

2. Notice Requirements

Pro Constable provides proper notice of the eviction date and time and maintains records showing compliance with applicable requirements.

3. Coordinating Movers and Storage

Eviction-related matters may require coordination with licensed movers and approved storage providers. This may include:

• Licensed movers to remove personal property.
• Storage of property in a licensed warehouse or approved storage facility.

Pro Constable may coordinate with:

• The landlord or landlord’s attorney.
• Movers.
• Storage facilities.
• Locksmiths.
• Local police, when public safety concerns are present.

4. Occupant Issues
