EVICTION - MOTION TO STAY EVICTION PROCEEDINGS - A Motion to Stay Eviction / Unlawful Detainer is a request filed with the court asking the judge to temporarily halt the eviction process, giving the tenant more time to move or address the issues that led to the eviction.
Tenants may file this motion if they need more time to find a new place to live, address a problem that led to the eviction, or if they believe the eviction is unfair or based on a mistake.
If the court grants the stay, the tenant will likely be allowed to stay in the property for a limited period, often up to 40 days, but the specific timeframe can vary.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the tenant is granted a stay, they typically need to pay rent for the period of the stay, and they may need to pay the rent owed for the period of the eviction.
