The Sheriff must serve the writ of possession and then wait 5 days before removing you from the premises.

You can stay until the sheriff shows up. Once the sheriff comes, you will be forcibly removed from the premises.

The sheriff will generally make two trips. On the first trip the sheriff will post a notice setting forth the date of the second trip, at which the sheriff will force your removal, if you are still there.
