Hello. In Illinois, filing a motion to vacate does not automatically halt the eviction process. You may need to ask the court for a stay of enforcement, which, if granted, could allow you to stay in your apartment until a new judgement is made.
Eviction has already been done
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Illinois:
- After an eviction order, it's difficult to reverse the process.
- You can appeal the decision, but it doesn't halt the eviction unless court grants a stay.
