Following the eviction, the landlord must let the tenant remove personal belongings from the
premises. A landlord cannot keep the tenant’s belongings, but can arrange for their storage. A
landlord must apply for a warrant for possession within 30 days from the date of the judgment for
possession unless the judgment is stopped through a court order or other written agreement signed
by the landlord and tenant.

A tenant may ask the court for permission to stay in the premises due to special difficulties that
moving out may cause. If permission is granted, the tenant may not stay in the premises for more
than six months. All rent due ordinarily must be paid for permission to be granted by the court.
