Operative words
Beginning the week of September 14, the Judicial Branch will schedule hearings for summary process (eviction) cases in which a request for execution has been filed. Pursuant to the September 4, 2020 order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which allows for an adult tenant to submit a signed declaration to their landlord meeting the CDC's criteria, a landlord would be prohibited from executing on a judgment for possession, through December 31, 2020 if a tenant submits the declaration. The parties will be contacted by court staff, who will provide instructions on how to participate in a remote hearing
Enforcement
Court procedure; executions withheld absent hearing
