If the plaintiff establishes at the hearing the probable validity of the plaintiff’s claim to possession of the property and has provided any required undertaking, the court shall issue the Writ of Possession (CD-130).

The writ must be directed to the levying officer in the county in which the property is located and shall include the following (CCP 512.080):

  1. Court seal (CCP 153)  Please note: the writ may be issued in an electronic form (GC 68150(g)). 
  2. Property description
  3. Direction for levying officer to seize, retain, release and sell according to law
  4. Defendant’s rights including the right to object to plaintiff’s bond and to post a redelivery bond

CCP 512.080(c) also refers to the requirement of a private place description.  This is not a mandatory requirement for the issuance of the writ.  The private place endorsement is only ordered after the plaintiff established probable cause to believe the property or some part of the property may be found at the private place.
