depends on what the tenant is saying is the reason that the tenant should get a 'stay'.
get a lawyer and get this idiot OUT.
then sue him for money.
Depends. Typically in order to get a stay, one has to show a hardship and be current on the rent through out the stay. Hardship is a fact based determination and cannot be determined from the information you have given in your request. Most attorneys will give a free initial consult. Try that first.
There is no "Lettered response." You need to show up in court and pound the table hard and impress upon the Judge that you are demanding repossession of the premises based upon the Judgment you previously obtained.
