A stay sounds like you get to stay in your house, but that's not what it means legally. It means to delay making you move out. If you get a stay of execution, the judge will probably allow you to stay for up to 40 more days, but usually not longer.

You do this by contacting the Plaintiff or Plaintiff's Attorney by telephone and stating: ?I will be submitting a request to Stay the Execution of the Judgment twenty-four hours from the time of this call.?

Stay of execution. Appeal (a) Execution shall be stayed for five days from the date judgment has been rendered, provided any Sunday or legal holiday intervening shall be excluded in computing such five days. (b) No appeal shall be taken except within such five-day period.

You may also call the Centralized Services Unit at 860-263-2750. All requests for files must include the name of the case and docket number. Docket numbers may be available on-line at .jud.ct.gov by utilizing the case look-up function. Files should be available within one or two business days.

You might be able to get 3 extra months to move out if you are evicted because you did not pay the rent, but you must fill out a Stay of Execution (#JD-HM-21) form and pay the court all of the rent you owe within 5 days of the judgment. You must be prepared to pay for each month that you stay.

The landlord asks the court to sign an Execution, the order that gives a marshal permission to remove you and your belongings. This process moves fast and can feel intimidating. But if you participate, you may be able to stay in your home or get more time to move.
