It is one part of the whole eviction process. The writ is what you give to the Sheriff for the eviction. Then the Sheriff goes to the property and does what they need to according to lawful procedures.

Would if you were thrown out of apartment without eviction and person has your belongingsWhat are my rights on getting stuff back?

Normally this is referred to as an illegal eviction. If this happens to you, you must call the police to force the landlord to give you back the apartment, for it is legally yours until proper eviction proceedings have been completed with a writ of ejection (writ of possession, etc.).


After a foreclosure how long does it take to evict in Florida?

Usually there will not be a separate eviction filed after a foreclosure. Typically, the plaintiff will request that the clerk issue a writ of possession as a part of the foreclosure. The judge may direct the clerk to issue the writ of possession as a part of the foreclosure judgment or the Plaintiff may request it afterwards. Once the writ of possession has been issued, it must be delivered to the sheriff. The sheriff will post the writ on the property and you have 24 hours to vacate. In short, not very long.


Can the police remove somebody from the apartment if rent is not paid on time?

Can a eviction writ of possession be filed if the outstanding rent balance on the original judgment has been paid?

Okay, let's clarify something here: An EVICTION is a court hearing initiated by a landlord for violation of lease terms, for example, non-payment of rent A WRIT OF POSSESSION is a court ordered WRIT (that is, an order signed by a Judge) for the landlord to take possession of the rental property. The landlord must obtain such writ after he wins a judgment in the case (this is done either by default judgment or after a hearing before the Judge or Magistrate). Once that writ is obtained the landlord may force you out, even if you paid the amount of rent in question. Remember, if a writ was obtained, about a month has already passed after your rent was due, hence the eviction. Your landlord has the option to accept the money and give you back your home or continue to force you to leave. Even if he forces you to leave the rent was still past due. However, the landlord has only a few days to get the writ after he has won the judgment, and then only a few days to have the Sheriff or Constable force you out.

A writ of possession is a legal precept directing a sheriff to put a person in peaceable possession of property recovered in ejectment or writ of entry. It's a court order to move out right now.

Writ of possession versus writ of execution?

The writ of possession is nothing more than a complement of the writ of execution which, without the former, is ineffective; for it would be useless to order a sheriff to sell a real property of a judgment debtor if after the sale is made in the manner provided by law the purchaser, after the expiration of the period of redemption, may not enter upon the possession of the property thus purchased

Does the sheriff serve a writ of possession the same day he is paid?

That would depend upon state and county laws and whether or not the writ must be served personally (handed to a particular individual), left with anyone at a specific address, or left attached at the entrance of a residence or business. Also, what is the writ of possession for? Real property, especially a residence may have other statutory laws governing the timeframe for serving a writ for possession of that property.
