Tennessee Code Ann. tit. 29, ch. 18 § 29-18-124 establishes the required form and language for a court judgment when a landlord wins an eviction (detainer) case. When the court rules in the plaintiff's favor, the judgment must be recorded on or attached to the original warrant and must include a directive restoring the plaintiff to possession of the property, authorizing a writ of possession or restitution, and awarding court costs. This provision is essentially a procedural template ensuring that winning judgments in Tennessee eviction proceedings follow a standardized format.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Tenn. Code Ann. tit. 29, ch. 18 § 29-18-124, a landlord who prevails in a detainer action can expect the court to issue a judgment in a specific statutory form that restores possession of the property and authorizes a writ of possession or restitution. Compliant operators generally retain copies of all court documents, including the endorsed warrant or annexed judgment, as part of their records. Understanding this procedural step helps property owners recognize what a valid favorable judgment looks like and what legal authority it conveys.
