You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There is no such instrument as a Writ to Possess. I presume you mean a Writ of Possession which is issued by the Court after a Judgment of Eviction. At this point, your only choice is to pay all monies and get the landlord to have the Writ set aside or to vacate the premises immediately before your personal belongings are moved to the curb and picked apart by anyone who chooses to.
