Eviction Case File Organizer: Rent Ledger and Case Timeline Workbook, Court-Day Document Checklist, Rent Ledger Guide and Case Timeline Log

Who it is for

Landlords and tenants with an eviction case filed or coming, who want their papers, payment history and court dates in one place. Not a court form; it points to the court's own forms.

Not the right fit if

Not a court form or legal advice, and it does not file anything for you; use your court's official forms. Where a state's pages didn't state a timeline, the kit lists it to look up.

Why it is different

• Built for either side of a case, in neutral language, and points to the court's own forms instead of replacing them.
• The workbook's dates match the free online eviction timeline estimator rule for rule, and are labeled earliest under the statute.
• Every state period comes from a statute or state court page checked November 2026; states not yet confirmed are left blank, not guessed.

What is inside

• Eviction case file workbook (Excel). A rent ledger with charges, payments and a running balance, a case timeline that shows the earliest date of each stage from the state's stated periods, and an event log.
• Start here. How to use the kit, why the dates are earliest under the statute, the states with confirmed periods and the help their court pages point to.
• Court-day document checklist. Lease, ledger, notices, proof of service, photos and messages to bring, three copies each, with an exhibit list.
• Rent ledger and payment history guide. How to record each charge and payment so a judge can check the balance, what payments after a notice can mean, and a printable ledger.
• Case timeline log. Each stage with the state's stated period, the earliest date and the date the court set, plus an event log and contacts.
