Lakewood eviction research
City-level context for eviction filings in Lakewood, Colorado. Cited figures are labeled. Missing figures are omitted.
Court and process (high level)
An eviction in Lakewood is a court case, not a lockout. The owner files; the tenant has a chance to answer; a hearing may be set; a judgment, if entered, is not possession. A writ executed by the local sheriff, marshal, or constable is typically required before a setout. We do not guarantee any of those intervals.
Colorado residential eviction (FED) actions are typically filed in county court.
