What do I do after a Writ of Execution has been issued by the court? Written By Sandra McCarthy Founder, A People’s Choice Fact Checked The Writ of Execution gives the landlord the right to retake possession of the property. Once the court has issued a Writ of Take, this document should be taken to the local Sheriff’s office.

The Sheriff will give the landlord an exact date and time that the tenant will be required to leave the property.
