29. After I take a tenant to court and the Judge has given a date for him/her to leave and the tenant has still not vacated the premises. What is my next step?
After the Court has made an order for Possession, if the Defendant continues in possession, the Plaintiff may make an application to the Court for a Warrant of Possession. Pursuant to Section 250 of the Parish Court Act, every such warrant shall bear the date on which it is issued, and shall continue in force for six months from such date, and no longer. No warrant shall be issued after the expiration of six months after the last day named by the Magistrate in his order for the delivery of possession, except by order of the Magistrate.
