Eviction services, explained

What each eviction step is — including the eviction notice — where it sits in the process, and who actually does the work. Georgia we can hire. Everywhere else we educate and route.

City skyline of rental housing — eviction services from notice and filing through writ and setout
GoEviction explains eviction services landlords search for — eviction notice, filing, service, writ, setout — then routes Georgia cases to EvictIQ field operations and tells other markets what we can and cannot do. Not a law firm. Not legal advice.

Key facts

  • National educate-and-route catalog: notices, filing, setout, cleanout, REO, collections, and turn work.
  • EvictIQ field operations: Georgia (metro Atlanta) — filing, service, writ, setout.
  • Exact claims only: 10,000+ completed evictions; 72-hour service of tenant after filing on average.
  • Outside Georgia: education + intake — no fake local crews. Not a law firm. No date guarantees. No invented prices.

Notices

The written demand before a case — demand, pay-or-quit, cure-or-quit, or notice to vacate.

Eviction Notice Preparation

The required written demand before a case can be filed — and proof it was delivered.

How this step works →

Demand Notice Services

A written demand that documents the balance and deadline before an eviction notice or filing.

How this step works →

Pay-or-Quit Notices

The non-payment eviction notice: pay the documented rent or surrender possession.

How this step works →

Cure-or-Quit Notices

The lease-violation notice: fix the cited breach in time or the possession case can follow.

How this step works →

Notice to Vacate

The possession notice used for holdover, end-of-term, or no-cause tenancies where the state allows it.

How this step works →

Filing

Turning a documented demand into a case in the court that covers the property.

Eviction Filing Assistance

Preparing and filing the possession case in the court that covers the property.

How this step works →

Dispossessory Filing Support

Georgia’s name for an eviction filing — the affidavit the whole case rests on.

How this step works →

Eviction Paperwork Preparation

Assembling notice, lease, ledger, and filing forms so the first submission is complete.

How this step works →

Court Filing Coordination

Volume filings run as one queue instead of a pile of separate matters.

How this step works →

Serving / proof

The clock runs from service, not from filing. The affidavit is what the court believes.

Process Serving

Getting the tenant served so the response clock actually starts.

How this step works →

Proof of Service Documentation

The affidavit and attempt log that show the court the tenant was served under local rules.

How this step works →

Court / enforcement

Hearing, appearance, judgment, writ, and the office that actually restores possession.

Eviction Hearing Coordination

Tracking the date, assembling the file, and making sure the right person appears.

How this step works →

Court Appearance Support

Operational help getting the right person and the right packet to the eviction hearing.

How this step works →

Attorney Coordination

Connecting a contested or entity file to EvictIQ’s attorney network — EvictIQ is not a law firm.

How this step works →

Judgment Coordination

Tracking entry of the possession or money judgment so the writ or collections step can start.

How this step works →

Writ of Possession Assistance

A judgment says you won. The writ is the separate order that lets the property come back.

How this step works →

Sheriff Lockout Coordination

Scheduling the office that executes the writ — sheriff, marshal, or constable — not a DIY lockout.

How this step works →

Setout day

Officer, crew, and locksmith on the same writ window — not a DIY lockout.

Eviction Setout Services

The day the officer attends, the unit is cleared, and the locks are changed.

How this step works →

Eviction Day Coordination

One window for officer, crew, locksmith, and the owner’s contact on the day of execution.

How this step works →

Off-Duty Officer Coordination

Law-enforcement presence scheduled to the same window as the crew.

How this step works →

Movers for Eviction Setouts

Crews sized to the unit, arriving with the officer — not a general move booked after.

How this step works →

Locksmith Coordination

The unit is not recovered until it is secured — same day, same window as the crew.

How this step works →

Post-eviction

After possession: belongings, cleanup, locks, and turning the unit.

Eviction Cleanout Services

Getting the recovered unit to a state you can inspect, price, and turn.

How this step works →

Post-Eviction Cleanup

Cleaning a recovered unit after the writ so it can be inspected, photographed, and turned.

How this step works →

Tenant Belongings Removal

Handling property left in the unit under the writ and that county’s storage or setout rules.

How this step works →

Abandoned Property Handling

The statutory process for property left behind — notice, hold, and only then disposal.

How this step works →

Post-Eviction Lock Changes

New locks after possession is restored — same day as the setout whenever the window allows.

How this step works →

Eviction Turnover Services

The handoff from recovered unit to leasable unit: cleanup, make-ready, and a documented condition.

How this step works →

Preservation / REO

Vacant and lender-owned assets — inspect, secure, report. Not a foreclosure mill.

Property Preservation

Keeping a recovered or vacant property secure and maintained until it turns or sells.

How this step works →

Vacant Property Maintenance

Recurring care of a vacant recovered or REO asset: secure, inspect, and stop weather and code damage.

How this step works →

REO Property Preservation

Securing and reporting on real-estate-owned assets after foreclosure or recovery — not a sale listing.

How this step works →

Foreclosure Property Preservation

Care of a property in or after foreclosure once it is lawful to enter and secure — not the foreclosure case.

How this step works →

Bank-Owned Property Services

Inspections, securing, and turn support on bank-owned or servicer-owned vacant assets.

How this step works →

Inspections / securing / emergency

Occupancy calls, board-up, lock changes, and short-fuse vacant securing — never as a lockout.

Property Inspection Services

Documented occupancy and condition visits — the photos an owner, lender, or court file can use.

How this step works →

Occupancy Verification

A dated occupied / vacant / unknown call before notice strategy, setout, or a preservation order.

How this step works →

Board-Up Services

Securing openings after break-in, fire, or vacancy — only when it is lawful to enter and close the building.

How this step works →

Lock Change Services

Rekey or replace locks on vacant, surrendered, or post-writ property — never as a self-help eviction.

How this step works →

Emergency Property Preservation

Same-week securing after open entry, water, fire, or a sudden vacancy — once it is lawful to act.

How this step works →

Junk / trash-out

Haul-away after it is lawful to haul. Judgment morning is not that day.

Junk Removal After Eviction

Lawful removal and disposal of what is left after possession is restored.

How this step works →

Junk Removal Services

Haul-away of volume that is lawful to remove after possession — not a same-day dump of a tenant’s life.

How this step works →

Trash-Out Services

Interior debris removal on a vacant unit — the REO and turnover name for a lawful clean sweep.

How this step works →

Collections

The money file before or after possession. Licensed professionals where the law requires it.

Delinquency and Collections Support

Not every delinquency should become an eviction, and not every judgment should be written off.

How this step works →

Rent Collection Support

Late-rent workflow before a filing decision: ledger, demand, and whether eviction is even the right tool.

How this step works →

Collections Services

Organizing balances and next steps after or instead of an eviction — with licensed professionals where required.

How this step works →

Post-Eviction Collections

Balances that remain after possession — judgment, ledger, and a licensed path to collect.

How this step works →

Renovation / make-ready / seasonal

Turn work after cleanup — punch, remodel line items, climate. Not included in a setout.

Make-Ready Services

Paint, punch, and rent-ready finish work after cleanup — the last step before listing.

How this step works →

Renovation Services

Heavier repairs after a hard turnover — not broom-clean, and not a national remodel brand.

How this step works →

Eviction Turnover Renovations

Renovation scoped as part of turning a recovered unit — one project, not a surprise change-order.

How this step works →

Winterization Services

Freeze protection on a vacant recovered or REO unit — climate-specific, not a national package.

How this step works →

Portfolio / operations

Volume queues, stage visibility, and the letters that arrive after a messy vacancy.

Bulk Eviction Services

Portfolio volume run as a managed queue — one status view, one contact, one invoice.

How this step works →

Eviction Timeline Management

A stage calendar for notice, filing, service, hearing, writ, and setout — without fake date guarantees.

How this step works →

Code and HOA Compliance Support

Responding to city or association notices on a vacant or recovered property — with a paper trail.

How this step works →

State law controls. Eviction law is state law, and notice periods, forms, courts and timelines differ in every state — sometimes county to county within a state. This page explains how the process generally works. It is not legal advice and it is not a substitute for your state's actual rules.

Common questions

Does EvictIQ operate eviction crews nationwide?

No. EvictIQ field work is Georgia (metro Atlanta). Outside Georgia we educate landlords and take honest intake — we do not sell fake local pack listings.

Are these service pages legal advice?

No. GoEviction is published by EvictIQ. EvictIQ is not a law firm. Eviction law is state law.

Where can I hire these services in Georgia?

Georgia cases are handled directly. Use the matching page on local-eviction.com/services, schedule a case review, or start on /find-help.

Do you publish prices here?

No. Scope and price are written after intake, before anything is filed. This site does not invent a price list.

Which step are you stuck on?

Name, phone, and location are enough to start. Georgia we handle; elsewhere we point you the right way.
