When a landlord obtains a judgment for possession from the Special Civil Part, the warrant
of removal cannot be issued until three (3) days after the judgment and only between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The warrant of removal cannot be executed until a minimum of three (3)
days and two (2) days for seasonal tenants in buildings with five (5) or fewer units, have elapsed
since it was issued. The Fair Eviction Notice Act requires any warrant for removal to include a
notice that the tenant has a right to request more time (called a “stay of execution”). The court will
continue the case for up to 10 days after the execution of the warrant for the purpose of hearing
applications by the tenant for lawful relief.
