Statement of loss
What this tenant costs you every day you wait.
Most owners weigh the cost of filing. The number that actually matters is the one already running against you.
$
Drag or type. Figures are straight arithmetic on the rent you enter — they exclude damage, turn cost and legal fees.

Expedited filing, all in
$450
Filing costs you less than 8 days of what this tenant is already costing you. Every week you spend deciding is roughly $414 you don't get back.
Posture of the case
Wherever it stalled, we pick it up there.
Owners call us at one of three moments. You do not start over, and you do not re-pay for work already done.
The docket
Six entries. You watch every one of them land.
Eviction fails in the handoffs — notice to clerk, clerk to server, server to sheriff, sheriff to crew. EvictIQ owns all of them and timestamps each entry to your file.
Entry
Stage
Action of record
002
NOTICE
Pay-or-vacate served and documented
Served properly the first time, so a bad notice doesn't cost you a dismissal and a re-file.
003
FILED
Dispossessory filed with the county
Prepared and filed, county filing fee included in your flat rate. The e-filing convenience fee passes through at cost.
004
SERVED
Tenant served, proof returned
Expedited service — 72 hours after filing on average — with proof of service filed back to the court.
005
WRIT
Appearance, judgment, writ applied for
We appear where permitted or coordinate a licensed attorney, then apply for the writ of possession the day it becomes available.
006
SETOUT
Unit cleared, photographed, returned to you
Officer coordinated, insured crew on site, unit documented before and after and emptied so you can turn it.
Of record
Everything that happens to your unit is documented.
You are not calling for status. The file carries its own record, and the record is yours.
Intake
24/7 intake, seven days
Lockouts, abandonments and emergencies do not wait for Monday. Calls and intake sheets are answered around the clock; court-dependent steps still run on the county's calendar.
Field
Photo log and inventory at setout
Every setout is photographed before and after, with a written inventory of what was removed and where it was staged — the documentation that protects you if the tenant disputes it later.
Portal
Milestones, documents and invoices in one place
Filings, service returns, hearing dates, writs, photo logs and invoices attach to the correct case in your EvictIQ dashboard. Regional and onsite staff see the same file.
Counties of record
We hire Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb officers — and keep the rest of metro Atlanta on a standing schedule.
Not a vendor list. Certified officers from Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb are hired onto our setouts. For Fulton and the surrounding counties we work a regular schedule or an off-duty schedule, so you are not waiting on a cold call the morning of.
Also on a regular or off-duty schedule: Rockdale, Fayette, Newton, Forsyth, Paulding, Coweta, Barrow and Walton. Tell us your county on the intake sheet and we confirm coverage and that county’s procedure before quoting.
The card nobody else plays
When the county calendar stalls, we already have the officer.
Georgia’s H.B. 1203 lets a landlord hire a certified off-duty peace officer to execute the writ when the county cannot complete it within 14 days of it being scheduled. Most eviction vendors never use it — they put you in the queue and call you the morning of.
We hire Gwinnett, Cobb, and DeKalb officers onto setouts, and we run the other metro counties on a regular schedule or off-duty schedule every week — standing capacity, not a phone number we try on the day. If your county’s calendar is about to cost you another month of unpaid rent, we apply for off-duty execution, give you a date you choose, and quote what each path costs before you commit to either.
H.B. 1203 · Notice periods, procedure and off-duty eligibility vary by county. Naming a county office describes that county’s procedure — it is not a claim of endorsement or affiliation. “Hired” means EvictIQ engages certified officers for setout work; it does not mean employment by, or endorsement from, any sheriff, marshal, or government office.
Comparison of record
What you are actually choosing between.
Most eviction vendors do one piece of this and broker the rest. Every broker in the chain is a day your unit sits empty and a person who cannot answer your question.

Questions from the record
What owners ask before they hire us.
How fast does this actually move?
Filing happens on intake day when your paperwork is in order, and across our cases tenants are served an average of 72 hours after filing. What comes after — hearing dates, writ issuance, sheriff availability — is set by your county's calendar, not by us. We will give you that county's realistic timeline before you pay anything. Anyone promising a guaranteed eviction date is guessing.
Are you a law firm?
No. EvictIQ is eviction management and field operations — filing, service, coordination, setout and collections. Where a licensed attorney is required we work with attorneys licensed in that jurisdiction. We do not give legal advice, and nothing on this page is legal advice.
What is actually inside the $450?
Preparation and filing of the dispossessory, the county filing fee, and expedited service of the tenant. The county's e-filing convenience fee passes through at cost. Court appearances, the writ application, setout and cleanout are separate line items at the rates published above.
What happens to the tenant's belongings?
Setouts follow your county's procedure to the letter, coordinated with the sheriff or an off-duty officer. The unit is photographed before and after and our crew is insured. Where the county allows it we quote junk removal at the same time, so the unit can be turned the same day.
Do you work outside Georgia?
The EvictIQ platform is nationwide and our field network is expanding. Put the county on the intake sheet and we will confirm coverage and exactly what we can do there before you commit to anything.
What if the tenant pays or moves out before the setout?
You can pause or cancel at any point before the setout is dispatched — tell your case manager and we stop. Work already performed is billed, and some county costs are non-refundable once a filing has been accepted. Nothing further is charged, and we will tell you exactly what is and is not recoverable at the moment you call.
Do you work with the marshal or the sheriff?
Whichever your county uses. Some jurisdictions dispatch a marshal, some a deputy, and some allow an off-duty officer to supervise on a schedule you control instead of waiting in the county queue. We coordinate the one your county requires and tell you upfront what each path costs and how it affects timing.
Can I still collect what they owe me?
Yes. Post-eviction collections run at 45% contingency — you keep 55%, and if nothing is recovered you owe nothing. We usually open collections while the setout is being scheduled, when the file is still fresh.
Disposition

Give us the county and the posture. We confirm what your county requires and quote you a flat price today — backed by 100,000+ evictions completed since 2004.
