How soon can the landlord evict me after court?
After a judgment in court, you have at lease 21 days before you can be evicted. Your landlord must:
- File the Writ of Possession 10 days after the judgment.
- File the Alias Writ 11 days after the Writ of Possession.
- Schedule a lockout any time after filing the Alias Writ. This usually takes an additional 7-10 days.
How do I find out the date of the lockout?
- Call Municipal Court at (215) 686-7950 to see if the landlord filed the Alias Writ of Possession.
- Once the landlord filed the Alias Writ, call (215) 563-2133 or email ltofficer.evictions@gmail.com to find out if the lockout date is scheduled.
I was locked out. What do I do now?
- Schedule a time to retrieve your belongings left in the property.
- Request your security deposit back from the landlord.
