Court-ordered eviction, when
If a judge decides someone should be evicted, that person has 24 hours to leave, and then the landlord can take back the property. If someone in the home is doing criminal activity but is not the tenant, the judge can order just that person removed and banned from the property without ending the lease. A judge can speed up how fast the eviction happens, or can delay it for a short time if the person being removed can strongly prove that leaving right away would put them in serious danger that is bigger than the safety risks to the community and the landlord.
