Petition For Warrant Of Restitution {DC-CV-081}

DC-CV-081 - PETITION FOR WARRANT OF RESTITUTION. This form is used in the District Court of Maryland by a landlord or their agent to request the court’s permission to proceed with an eviction after a judgment for possession has already been entered against a tenant. This form typically follows a case involving Failure to Pay Rent or other breach of lease where the court has ruled in favor of the landlord and determined that the tenant no longer has the right to occupy the rental property. The petition outlines the amount still owed (if any), states whether the tenant has the right to redeem the property by paying the outstanding balance, and requests the issuance of a Warrant of Restitution, which authorizes law enforcement—such as a sheriff or constable—to physically remove the tenant and their belongings from the premises. The court then issues an Order for Warrant of Restitution, which includes redemption terms (if permitted), eviction procedures, and enforcement instructions for officers. This form includes important notices for tenants regarding eviction rights, redemption options, and protections for property and pets. In jurisdictions such as Baltimore City, additional notice requirements apply before eviction can occur. Once signed by the judge, the warrant empowers officers to carry out the eviction, usually within 60 days, unless otherwise stated by local law. www.FormsWorkflow.com
