First review

Start with the sheriff notice

Lockout or sheriff date

A Guelph sheriff eviction review starts with the order, the scheduled date, and who is occupying the property.

A sheriff notice can follow a sale, court order, receiver step, or purchaser demand. The first review should confirm who is acting, what paper supports possession, who received notice, and whether there is any basis to request time or a pause.

Owner, tenant, student, or business occupancy

A sheriff eviction in Guelph can affect owners, tenants, students, family members, and business occupants. A lockout date needs immediate review because the practical harm can happen quickly.

The first step is to identify the order or sale record behind the sheriff notice. The next step is to understand who is at the property and what notice each person received.
