Q: If I am unable to pay my eviction appeal bond by the time I was given by the judge can the landlord evict me immediately
For example I was given until 4:30 pm Dec 24, 2019 to pay the bond so if I don't pay it can the landlord call the sheriff and have me removed at 5pm on the above mentioned date or does he have to go back to the magistrate and get a order to remove me immediately
A: If you are unable to pay the bond your appeal will be dismissed by the clerk of court and at that point the magistrate will sign another writ of ejectment putting you out.
