Marshal's Notice
Plain EnglishThe final warning before eviction — act immediately
Legal Definition
A notice the NYC Marshal must give you at least 72 hours before carrying out an eviction. File an Order to Show Cause to stop the eviction before the marshal arrives.
💡
Practical Tip
72 hours is not much time. File an Order to Show Cause the same day you receive a Marshal's Notice. Every hour counts.
