    What Will Happen if a Tenant Can't Move Out Within the Time Given by a Court
    If after a hearing on an eviction case the court grants the tenant thirty days to vacate, and the tenant cannot move out by the end of that period, what will happen?

    Most likely, the landlord will get an order for possession of the home and have a court officer physically remove the tenant and the tenant's belongings from the home. Depending on the state, the tenant may receive a short period of notice after the order allowing the landlord to retake the premises is issued, such as a 48 hour period to vacate, but in other states the order may be executed immediately upon issuance.

    It would be possible for the landlord to file a show cause motion asking the tenant to be held in contempt, but realistically speaking the tenant should expect to be physically evicted.
