Which document is associated with unlawful occupancy and eviction proceedings?

• A. Writ of Possession in Unlawful Detainer
• B. Garnishment Summons
• C. Writ of Possession and Fieri Facias in Detinue
• D. Writ of Fieri Facias

Answer: (A)

Unlawful detainer actions are civil lawsuits to regain possession of real property from someone occupying it without a lawful right. When the plaintiff prevails, the court issues a writ of possession specific to unlawful detainer, directing the sheriff to remove the occupant and restore possession to the rightful owner or tenant. This writ is the tool used to enforce eviction in cases of unlawful occupancy. The other documents serve different purposes: a garnishment summons deals with seizing a debtor’s assets to satisfy a judgment; a writ involving possession and another writ called fieri facias in detinue combines concepts not used for eviction; and a writ of fieri facias is an execution to seize assets for a money judgment, not to remove an occupant.
