Step 7: Sheriff Posts the Lockout Notice

The day after the Sheriff receives the “Writ” and “Instructions,” the Sheriff will post a notice at the property, demanding that your tenant(s) vacate the property within five days, then the Sheriff sends a letter to the owner/agent informing him of the date by which the tenant(s) must vacate the property. The letter also provides contact information for the Sheriff’s Department and provides instructions to the owner/agent if the tenant(s) do not vacate as ordered.
