What is a dispossessory warrant?

A dispossessory warrant is a legal document that allows a landlord to evict a tenant from a property due to non-payment of rent or other lease violations. The warrant is filed in court, and after a hearing, the judge may order the tenant to vacate the property within a specific timeframe. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord can then seek assistance from law enforcement to remove the tenant from the property. It is important that landlords follow proper legal procedures when filing a dispossessory warrant to avoid any potential legal consequences.
