What Is The Writ Of Possession?

Anaheim Eviction Lawyer – Anaheim Unlawful Detainer

As an eviction lawyer, many clients want to know what happens at the end of the eviction process. Assuming you are the landlord, and you have prevailed in the case, the court will issue what is know as a writ of possession. Once the landlord has the writ, he or she can then take it to the sheriff. The sheriff then has the authority to forcibly remove the defendant from the premises. The tenant, of course, has the option to leave before the eviction date.

The sheriff must provide the tenant with a copy of the writ of possession. The writ contains instructions on when the occupants need to move out and what will happen if they don’t. The sheriff charges a fee to serve the writ of possession and the fee can be added to the judgment the landlord may collection from the tenant.

Once the occupants are served with the writ of possession, the tenant has 5 days to vacate. If, by the end of the 5th day, the premises is still occupied, the sheriff will return to the residence and remove the tenants from the property. If the occupant has left personal property at the residence the sheriff will confiscate it and put it into storage.   The tenant is charge with reasonable storage fees.
