The judgment becomes final ten (10) days after it was entered. At that point the Sheriff's Department will come out and physically remove you from the premises. Typically your property will be left at the curb regardless of the weather. The landlord has no liability associated with your property being taken or damaged as a result so you want to be out beforehand.
