A Pennsylvania Writ of Possession is a legal document issued by a court, typically in a landlord-tenant dispute, that allows a landlord to regain possession of their property from a tenant. The Writ of Possession will generally order a sheriff or constable to physically remove the tenant from the property and may also include a monetary judgment against the tenant for back rent and other fees owed to the landlord. There are two types of Writs of Possession in Pennsylvania: a Writ of Possession for Premises and a Writ of Possession for Personal Property. The Writ of Possession for Premises is used to regain possession of a leased premise from a tenant who has failed to pay rent or comply with the lease agreement. The Writ of Possession for Personal Property is used to regain possession of personal property, such as furniture, appliances, and other items, that have been left behind by a tenant.
