The landlord usually gets a judgment for “possession” of the apartment plus back rent and attorney fees.  The tenant has ten days in which to file an appeal. After ten days, if no appeal is filed, the landlord can obtain a writ of possession, which is a court order directing the sheriff to forcibly remove the tenant and his belongings from the property.
