#### Formula & Methodology

Notice Expiry Date:

Notice Expiry = Service Date + Base Notice Days + Service Method Extension Days (if Business Days Only: skip Saturdays and Sundays when counting)

Service Method Extensions (vary by state): Personal Delivery → +0 days Posting on Door → +state.postDays (typically 3–5 days) First-Class Mail → +state.mailDays (typically 3–5 days) Certified Mail → +state.certDays (typically 3–5 days)

Earliest Court Filing = Notice Expiry + 1 day (+ any state-mandated wait) Tenant Answer Deadline = Filing Date + state.answerDays Estimated Hearing = Filing Date + state.hearingDays Estimated Judgment = Hearing Date + 3 days Estimated Writ of Possession = Judgment Date + 5 days Estimated Lockout = Writ Date + 5 days

State-Specific Notice Periods (selected examples):
