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 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.
