A tenant who is being evicted may file a motion to stay with the courts. If the judge accepts it—and under most regulations, it may be accepted—the court process will be postponed for up to ten days. Tenants do this to stall the process and win some time to move out or to prepare a better defense or hire a lawyer for representation.
If a tenant asks for a motion to stay to have more time to move out, it's not a bad thing for the landlord as the provision of the lease implies that the tenant is still liable for penalties. What this does is just making them pay more in damages for lost rent.
