Writ of Re-entry:
If you are locked out of your residence by your landlord, you may be able to ask a judge for a writ of reentry ordering the landlord to let you back in.
Writ of Restoration:
If your landlord cuts off your utilities, you may be able to ask a judge for a writ of restoration ordering the landlord to turn them back on.
Repair & Remedy:
