A Notice of Eviction is a document produced by a sheriff or marshal after a court has authorized a tenant's eviction. A marshal or a sheriff may send the notice by mail, deliver it in person, or post it on the tenant's door. The paper says "NOTICE OF EVICTION" at the top and includes the name of the court, the marshal or sheriff's contact information, a Docket Number, and an Index Number.
After the Notice of Eviction arrives, the tenant has six business days to respond. If the tenant does not respond, the marshal or sheriff may take legal possession of the premises without further notice. Evictions are executed only on weekdays.
