January 2013 update on Cook County Sheriff’s eviction speed

It is, of course, impossible to know an exact time for Cook County eviction enforcement, but my experience is that there is only a short delay right now.  My best guess as to the current timing from placement of an order with the Shriff to eviction is just about 5-6 weeks.  This is quite good considering the 17 days off in December and January.  Cook County landlords should hope that the mild weather continues.  Of course, every situation is different and your eviction enforcement may take more or less time.  Good luck!
