If this helps any, a landlord is no different in terms of small claims or other civil court matter. If there are grounds to sue then you may do so. Check your state's Statute of Limitations laws to see how much time you have to sue a landlord or anyone else. Landlord and Tenant issues are only applicable to eviction proceedings, not small-claims court or other civil courts.

You don't file a writ to be brought to court. You file a writ to have someone else brought to court. As to how long the court has to execute a writ, the writ itself will say how long it is good for. In some places, a warrant never expires, you could be brought in 50 years after the warrant was issued. However, if the state has a statute of limitations then that may apply. But if you're not in the state the statute of limitations does not apply. So it could be anything up to forever.
