I'm not sure if I understand your question, but it appears as if a landlord has taken you to court for rent payment, and you may be able to make partial payment, or there is already a judgment for rent that has been taken against you, and you can make partial payment on that. A judge doesn't get involved in payment arrangements unless he or she approves an agreement in open court. The sheriff is told what to do by the landlord. So, you would have to make an agreement with your landlord, and make sure that agreement is in writing and it is clear that an execution will not be made unless you do not keep the payment agreement. It is best to ask a lawyer to negotiate with your landlord to be sure any agreement protects your interests and stays the execution process.
