When a landlord-tenant summary proceeding is resolved, it typically results with a judgment of possession in favor of the landlord. This is different from a warrant of eviction, which is necessary to authorize the eviction of the tenant by a Marshal.

The alias writ of possession is a court order that is issued 11 days after the writ of possession. This is the last step before a landlord can legally evict a tenant. A landlord can only lock out a tenant after this court order is issued.
If a resident or their lawyer wishes to prevent the sheriff from executing the Writ of Possession and displacing them, they can do so by filing a Motion to Stay the Writ of Possession. This document is also called a stay writ. The writ may be typed or handwritten, depending on which is more convenient for both parties.
