In some instances, we successfully recover the property for the owner without the necessity for trial, in which case the work expended is included in this service and there is no refund or proration of fees. If your occupants surrender without the need for a court hearing, this may or may not result in a money judgment in your favor. We shall deem your case solved and the file is closed based on the occurrence of any of the following: 1. Surrender of property by occupant via written notice from or the surrender of keys. 2. It is determined the Property is abandoned or defendant is deemed un-servable. 3. Upon Judgment of the Court in said jurisdiction of property. I understand that Superior cannot provide legal advice and that I will contact an attorney for any legal questions.
