A forcible entry, or an entry where entry is not given by law within the meaning of this article, is: 1. An entry without the consent of the person having the actual possession. 2. As to a landlord, an entry upon the possession of his tenant at will or by sufferance, whether with or without the tenants consent.
What happens next? The court will then hold a hearing to determine if the occupant has the right to possession. If the court finds that the occupant does not have this right, the court will uphold the landlord or owners right to regain possession of the property.
The court sends the Writ of Eviction for the plaintiff to the Sheriffs Office. The Sheriffs Office has 30 days from the courts signing to execute the document. The Sheriffs Office contacts the plaintiff with the scheduled date and time of the eviction.
A Forcible Entry and Detainer, or FED, is an action a property owner or a landlord can take when an existing occupant refuses to leave after being given appropriate notice. The laws governing FEDs vary from state to state and differ for residential and non-residential properties.
Under a recently enacted law, HB 3522, which goes into effect in 2026, landlords can utilize the Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) process to evict squatters. This marks a docHub shift in landlord-tenant law and provides property owners with a more streamlined method for reclaiming their property.
