JUDGMENT reads:

It is accordingly ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED by the Court that the Plaintiff do have and recover from the Defendant possession of the following property….. and that Plaintiff have FULL RESTITUTION of his premises.

At the bottom it reads:

OTHER: Please be advised the Defendant has 5 days to vacate the premises. If the Defendant fails to comply, the Plaintiff has the right to request a Writ of Possession.

What does your order actually say. Does it say you can take possession on 10/30 or that she has to vacate by then? The wording could matter. As AK said, she seems to have, in effect, surrendered the premises.

Went over today & she hadn't changed the locks like she said she would, so either she was just bluffing or she couldn't find any locksmith who would make her a key. Don't know if the police will keep an eye on it but I will ask.

Also give a copy of it (the order, not the key) to the police and ask them to keep an eye on the place.


Your position would be that she was given that amount of time in which to vacate and she has vacated (actually even before the date of the order), thus surrendering the premises. So if she were to come back without permission that would constitute trespassing. And if she were to get a key somehow and use it to enter, that would constitute breaking and entry.
