Going to court after writ of possession

[Brittany Fife]

I am being brought to court by my tenants that I just evicted. I followed the law and gave them demand for rent, then filed for eviction which I won August 2. I then gave them a contract to keep them on as long as they adhere to it. They only did one of the six items on the contract. While I still was able to file for writ of possession I filed it October 27. They were served last Friday and then had seven days to get their belongings after the locks were changed by the sherif. Yesterday they filed a motion and now the hearing is next Thursday. I have no idea what I did wrong and what they think they could win from the hearing. I am going to consult a lawyer but does anyone know of anything they could get by me that I don’t realize? I don’t want the judge to allow them to move back in.

They could claim anything. Next time I would consider NEVER entering into an agreement with a problem tenant that you had to file eviction on. Find a good one.
