FORM 11
WRIT OF POSSESSION
This document should be delivered to the Clerk of the Court after the Court enters the final judgment evicting the Tenant. The Clerk will sign this Writ. After the Clerk signs this Writ, it must be delivered to the Sheriff to be served upon the Tenant and who, if necessary, will forcibly evict the Tenant after 24 hours from the time of service.
If requested by the Landlord to do so, the Sheriff shall stand by to keep the peace while the Landlord changes the locks and removes personal property from the premises. When such a request is made; the Sheriff may charge a reasonable hourly rate, and the person requesting the Sheriff to stand by to keep the peace shall be responsible for paying the reasonable hourly rate set by the Sheriff.
