3. Summons and complaint is filed. If the tenant fails to cure the noncompliance or vacate, the landlord may begin eviction proceedings by filing a Summons & Complaint with a Local Circuit Court along with a copy of the required termination notice served on the tenant.

4. Tenant is served summons & complaint. The landlord must have copies of the court documents to give to the sheriff so they can deliver the summons and complaint to the tenant.

5. Eviction Order. If the tenant submits an answer, a court date will be scheduled to hear testimony from both sides. But if the tenant doesn’t respond, the landlord may request the court to issue an Eviction Order.
