A writ of assistance is a written order (a writ) issued by a court instructing a law enforcement official, such as a sheriff or a tax collector, to perform a certain task. Historically, several types of writs have been called "writs of assistance".
One example of a writ of assistance would be the Malcolm Affair. In this case, customs officials searched the home of Daniel Malcolm. However, Malcolm would not let them search a part of his cellar without the legal right to do so by threatening violence if they did because he believed they were acting illegally.
The writ is served by the U.S. Marshal or other person, presumably a law enforcement officer, specially appointed by the court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4.1(a).
If your tenant won't fix the problem or move out, you'll have to go through the court to get an order for them to move out. The eviction process can take 30 - 45 days, or longer. The time starts from when you have eviction court forms delivered to your tenant to the time they must move out.
The writ is issued by the Clerk of the U.S. District or Bankruptcy Court, at the discretion of the judge, after judgment is rendered.

Once a judgment for possession is entered against you, your landlord will need to complete a "Writ of Restitution" to evict you. Your landlord must wait 2 business days after the judgment is entered to complete the Writ. The Writ will become "live" or active 3 days after it is filed.
Just Cause is Required for Eviction (Oakland Municipal Code, Section 8.22. 300) In Oakland, a property owner can only terminate a tenancy or evict a tenant for JUST CAUSE.
