Metairie eviction research
City-level context for eviction filings in Metairie, Louisiana. Cited figures are labeled. Missing figures are omitted.
Court and process (high level)
An eviction in Metairie 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.
Louisiana eviction rules are parish-based; cases are typically heard in city or parish court, or a justice of the peace, depending on the parish.
