How Courts Enforce Eviction Orders
Suspended orders
If the tenant breaks the terms, you can usually apply for a warrant without another hearing, though the tenant can ask the court to suspend it.
After eviction
Change the locks, record the condition, deal with belongings left behind lawfully, and pursue any money judgment.
