Your situation, stage by stage

WHERE YOU ARE

Pick the situation that is yours and put in each date once, on the stage it belongs to. The page shows the stage you are at and the period the statutes set after it, with whose period it is and the section it comes from. It says what the law sets, never what to do about it.

All of it runs in this browser. The dates are the same ones Your clock and your case file hold, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. What this site records.

Which situation is yours

The rent demand before a case, and the officer's notice before the warrant is carried out.

What the law asks of each side between them, a step at a time: The Warrant Of Eviction

A date put in here is the same date on Your clock and in your case file, and Add to calendar puts it in your own calendar with reminders. It stays in this browser.

Every stage here is a period on the clock. A situation that is not listed may still have its periods there, and Your clock counts any one of them from a date.
