Eviction in cold weather
Displaying information for 60603 [ change ]
The sheriff can evict someone at any time after an Eviction Order has been entered. You should be ready to move out before the enforcement date of your Eviction Order.
But, there may be a court order or local rules that protects you. A sheriff can decide not to evict if it is very cold outside due to court order. Call your county sheriff's department to find out their rules for winter.
