Pennsylvania 13. Writ of Possession — Ejection is a legal document issued by the court to a landlord or property owner granting them the right to repossess their property from a tenant or other occupant. This document, also known as a Writ of Restitution, is used when a tenant or other occupant has violated their rental agreement or failed to pay rent and is no longer permitted to occupy the premises. The Writ of Possession — Ejection requires the tenant or other occupant to immediately vacate the premises and surrender possession of the property to the landlord or property owner. The Writ also orders law enforcement to assist in the eviction if necessary. There are three types of Writs of Possession — Ejection: Summary, Emergency, and Standard. The Summary Writ is for nonpayment of rent, Emergency Writs are for other violations of the rental agreement, and Standard Writs are for all other reasons.
