Emergency Motions – How to Buy Time When the Sheriff Is Coming
A Real Tenant Story:
Take Angela from Georgia. She was a single mom who got a sheriff’s notice giving her three days to vacate. She had nowhere to go and couldn’t afford a lawyer.
Angela contacted Eviction Guardian. Within 12 hours, she had an emergency motion in hand. She filed it first thing the next morning, and the court issued a temporary stay of the lockout. That gave her an additional three weeks to make arrangements for her kids.

When the Sheriff Is Scheduled
If you’ve already received a sheriff’s notice, you know how terrifying it feels. The paper on your door has an exact date and time when you’ll be physically removed from your home. For many tenants, this feels like the end of the road.
But even now you still have legal tools to fight back. One of the most powerful options is an emergency motion, which can delay the sheriff lockout long enough to give you breathing room.
What Is an Emergency Motion?
An emergency motion is a last-minute legal filing asking the court to pause or delay the eviction. It can:
Request more time due to hardship (job loss, medical emergency, children involved)
Ask the court to review errors in the eviction process
Stop the sheriff while another appeal or filing is being considered
The key? Timing and accuracy. If you don’t file correctly, or if the court clerk rejects your paperwork, the sheriff will still show up.
Why Tenants Run to Eviction Guardian at This Stage
By the time the sheriff is scheduled, most tenants are out of time and out of options. Lawyers can cost $2,000–$5,000 upfront, and many won’t even take last-minute cases.
That’s why so many tenants call Eviction Guardian for help. For just $549 (split payments available), we:
✅ Draft a customized emergency motion tailored to your case
✅ Deliver documents within 4–24 hours

Why Timing Matters
Sheriff evictions move fast. Once the date is set, landlords count on tenants having no legal defenses left. That’s why emergency motions must be filed quickly and properly. Even one mistake can cost you your home.
By having court-ready documents, you level the playing field and force the court to consider your situation.
