If the landlord has a judgment for your eviction arising out of an unlawful detainer action where you are to be evicted by a set date, you can file a petition for a temporary restraining order to stop the eviction with the court.However, you need to have very good cause to succeed on the petition such as serious health issues and proof that actual payment of some rent owed to your landlord has been recently paid. The reason for such statement is that the court's rarely grant a retraining order to stop an eviction after there has been a judgment in favor of the landlord allowing the eviction.
