Summary of the timeline to evict a tenant in the Town of Brookhaven:

The timeline for an eviction has many variables. But as a general guide, the Suffolk County District Court in Patchogue is one of the slower venues. It usually takes 45-60 days at least to conclude a landlord-tenant matter. Timeframes will vary, depending on the circumstances.

A Sample Timeline of a
Non-Payment Proceeding in the Town of Brookhaven:

Step 1

Drafting & serving required notices

The required predicate notices must be drafted and sent to a process server for service. Service could take a week or more.

Step 1

Step 2

Wait for notice expiration

After service is completed, you must wait for the expiration of the time period on the notice to proceed. It could be a 10-day notice, a 14-day notice, a 30-day notice, a 60-day notice, or a 90-day notice, depending on your situation. This is the time that the tenant has to pack up and leave.

Step 2

Step 3

Asses status

After the time on the notice expires, if the tenant still has not moved out, you can now proceed with a court proceeding to have them legally removed. 

Step 3

Step 4

Draft & File Petition & Receive Court Date

Upon immediate conclusion of the notice period, a notice of petition and petition will be filed with the district court in Patchogue to begin your eviction proceeding. The district court of Suffolk County in Patchogue assigns a court date. As soon as your attorney knows the date, you will be notified and given additional instructions, like what to do on the court date and what to expect.

Step 4

Step 5

Serve Tenants with the Petition & Notices

The tenant must be served again with the petition and required legal notices, and will be notified to appear in Suffolk County District Court in Patchogue on the appearance date.

Step 5

Step 6

Appear in Court

On the court date, all parties will appear in court. If the tenant fails to appear, the landlord’s attorney may ask the court for a judgment of possession and a warrant of eviction by default. If all parties are present, they will be expected to have a conference in the courthouse to discuss the possibility of settlement.

If the case can be settled, the parties will draft a stipulation of settlement, which will describe what they have agreed to. If the judge approves the settlement, the case will be over.

 

Step 6

Step 7

Trial

If the parties cannot come to settlement terms, then the judge will schedule a trial on a new date. On the day of trial, both sides will present their case. If your tenant loses, the court will issue a judgment of possession and a warrant of eviction, which is what the Sheriff will need to physically remove your tenant. 

Step 7

Step 8

Have Your Tenants Physically Removed

You can now take your judgment and warrant to your county sheriff, and they will physically remove your tenant and their belongings from the apartment, and return possession of the premises back to you.
