A Real Tenant Story:

Take Jasmine from California. She went to court without legal help and lost her case. Within days, she received notice that the sheriff was scheduled for a lockout. She thought it was game over.

Desperate, she contacted Eviction Guardian. We prepared an emergency motion overnight. She filed it the next morning, and the lockout was delayed, giving her crucial extra time to find a new place.

Lost in Court? How to Stop an Eviction After Judgment

Losing in Court Doesn’t Mean It’s Over

For many tenants, the worst-case scenario happens: they go to court, the judge rules against them, and a judgment for eviction is entered. It feels like the end of the road. But here’s the truth: even after judgment, you may still have legal options to delay or challenge the eviction.

The key is knowing what to file and filing it fast.

What Happens After Judgment?

When the court sides with the landlord, they issue a judgment for possession. This gives the landlord the right to request a Writ of Possession. The court order that lets the sheriff physically remove you.

At this stage, time is limited. Depending on your state, you may only have days before the writ is enforced. That’s why most tenants feel hopeless here but it’s also why filing the right paperwork quickly can make all the difference.

Post-Judgment Options Tenants Might Have

While every state is different, tenants can file,:

A paper work that asks a higher court to review the decision.

A paper work that can temporarily pause enforcement of the judgment.

A paper work that can argue that the judgment was unfair or based on errors.

But here’s the problem: these filings are complex. They require legal language, strict formatting, and correct citations. If done wrong, the court can deny them instantly and the sheriff will still come.
