In person court
services are no longer provided because most landlords are
unorganized, keep very poor records, and are too lenient on
tenants.
Consultation is
provided for those who wish to file on their own or need help
filing it. The fee is $50/30 minutes and paid in advance
of placing your call.
Keep in mind, that I
am not a lawyer and will not provide legal advice. I will
only guide you on the process of filing your paperwork and
answering any questions within the scope of my experience.
If you like for me to
file your paperwork for you, that can be arranged.
Call for fee.
However, YOU WILL HAVE to appear in court to defend your case.
Use
PayPal to pay your consultation fee or electronic filing
fee. I will not be liable for any errors or omissions.
Prince George's County, MD -
PG Rent
Court
(Rent Court Agent /
Eviction Administrator)
We understand
that being a landlord is not an easy job, especially, when it
comes to evicting a good tenant who runs into hard times and find
ways to avoid paying you. That is why we sympathize with you.
Therefore,
Another Choice Virtual Assistant Service wants to assist you
(impartially) as a Prince George’s County rent court agent and eviction administrator.
We provide a personal service that you can trust. And
we are always a phone call away. We do not process rent
court cases is mass, we represent one client at a time, making
your problem our problem and your needs top priority.
What is a rent court agent
/ eviction
administrator?
A rent court
agent is a
person who works on your behalf in filing the necessary (Failure
to Pay and Warrant of Restitution) paperwork with the PG County
Courthouse and appears in rent court on your
behalf.
An eviction
administrator
will help you
find an eviction company and oversee the eviction the day
the eviction is scheduled.
Who needs this
kind of service?
Those who do
not have the time to go to court and appear before the judge nor
have the time to oversee an eviction. The person include:
Property
Managers
Landlords
Home Owner
What is my
course of action when a tenant fails to pay?
You have two
choices:
(1) not sue and let the tenant live
on the property for free
(2) sue for
payment.
If you decide
to sue, these are the steps involved:
·
1-2 days after you retain my services; I will file the Failure
to Pay Notice,
·
1-2 weeks after that a hearing will be scheduled, if the judge rules
in your favor (rent owed uncontested, tenant fails to show up),
we follow the next steps for eviction.
·
4
days after the judgment (and only if the tenant does not pay
you), a Warrant of Restitution can be filed. This begins the
actual eviction process.
·
6-8 weeks after the court’s decision, the sheriff’s office
should
contact you to schedule the date for the eviction,
·
At that point you should contact an eviction company or we can
set this up for you.
Prior to the Eviction:
If you need to enter your
property, you may do so provided that you have given the tenant
a 24-hour written notice of your intent.
PG County Eviction Process
(Eviction Day)
Kindly do not
enter the property prior to the deputy’s arrival. The deputy
must be the FIRST person to enter the premises on the day of
enforcement.
If it is
determined that you have already entered the property, the
deputy will cancel your Warrant of Restitution and you will have
to re-file the action with the court .
This
requirement pertains to the enforcement of the warrant and is
not intended to restrict your rights or other enforceable
obligations.
PG County
manpower requirements for evictions:
Kindly contact sheriff office
for this information.
However, if the minimum required number of persons is not
present the day of eviction, the sheriff can cancel the
eviction.
If the tenant
moves or satisfies the judgment, please contact the sheriff's
office to cancel the
scheduled eviction.
