After you win an eviction lawsuit in Georgia, the court will issue an order called a "writ of possession," allowing you to take back the rental unit and remove the tenant's property. However, you must wait seven days before you act. (See Georgia Code § 44-7-55.)

That Writ of Possession means the Sheriff has a court order to remove the people, pets, and things in the home and put them out of the house. And if your tenant files an appeal at just the right moment, that Writ of Possession may get stopped.

Appeals are filed with the magistrate court and the case is then sent to state or superior court. You will have to pay the "court costs" to file the appeal, normally about $250. If you don't have the money to pay the costs, you may be able to file a "pauper's affidavit" with the court instead of paying the court costs.

The court shall issue a writ of possession, both of execution for the judgment amount and a writ to be effective at the expiration of seven days after the date such judgment was entered, except as otherwise provided in Code Section 44-7-56.

What is a Motion to Stay the Writ of Possession? Simply put, the Motion to Stay the Writ of Possession is a document filed with the court asking the judge to “stay” or “stop” the sheriff from executing the Writ of Possession and removing the resident.
