Can a landlord file a Writ of Possession if he never filed for eviction?

No, a landlord cannot file a Writ of Possession without first obtaining a judgment for eviction through the legal eviction process. The Writ of Possession is a court order that allows law enforcement to remove a tenant from a property, but it requires that the landlord has formally filed for and received an eviction judgment. Without this prior step, the landlord does not have the legal standing to file for a Writ of Possession.
