RE: non payment of rent
In order to evict or have your tenants removed from the premises, you must go through the legal system in your local jurisdiction. In order to do this, you usually have to first serve notice. I believe in IN, it is a ten day notice for non-payment. After the notice period elapses, the landlord shall visit the small claims court for the jurisdiction where the property is located. You will fill out to file a Complaint for Eviction. There will be a filing fee. The clerk will then set a court date, which will be delivered to the tenant on what is called a Summons. The sheriff will usually deliver this Summons. The court date will be more than five days from the time the Summons is delivered to the tenant. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR 10 DAY NOTICE IS SERVED PROPERLY!!
