Rule 6.4 . Stay of eviction.

(a) A tenant who requests a delay in the execution of an order for summary eviction or lockout must include such request in the answer. (b) If an order for summary eviction has already been granted, and a tenant is seeking a stay of execution of that order or lockout, the tenant may file a motion to stay prior to the execution of the order. Any motion to stay filed after execution of the order will be deemed moot and will be denied summarily. (c) Upon review of a motion to stay that is filed before the execution of an order for summary eviction, the court may set the motion to stay for hearing, or the court may rule upon the motion to stay summarily. (d) If the court elects to hear a motion to stay pursuant to subsection (c), the hearing must be scheduled on the court’s first available hearing date, but not sooner than 10 calendar days from the date the motion is approved for hearing to ensure that all parties can be properly noticed of the hearing. (e) Once a motion to stay has been ruled upon, a subsequent motion to stay alleging the same grounds may be summarily denied. (f) A motion to stay that is filed after the parties have entered into a mediation agreement may be summarily denied.
