Cook County Sheriff - Update 4/19/15

Cook County Sheriff

Update - 4/19/15

Chicago, IL - We received several inquires about eviction cancellations and what are the checks and balances to make sure that tenants can't take advantage of the situation. 

Here are the procedures for cancelling evictions:

• We allow cancellations of eviction via email in order to allow attorneys to handle these matters without having to send anyone into our office.
• They must include the Sheriff's number, the District # and a copy of the receipt. This is information the tenant does have access to.
• All the information must be on their official office letterhead or from a business email.
• This courtesy has only ever been offered to attorneys.
• All Pro Se plaintiffs must bring a copy of the order with the receipt and a photo ID, into the Daley Center or wait until they are called for scheduling and cancel at that time. As you know, we call the number provided on the Eviction Disclosure Form, so this number is reliable as it provided by the plaintiff.
• There have been no known incidents of tenants stalling evictions using this method.
