If I file an appeal, can I still be put out?

Maybe. 

Under the law, just filing the Notice of Civil Appeal with the circuit court does not automatically prevent law enforcement from executing the Writ of Ejectment.  You also must file a document that says that you agree to pay the rent as it comes due during the appeal.

This document is called a "Bond" or an "Undertaking."   Once you sign and file this Bond, then the writ of ejectment must be stopped. 

Also, the Bond requires you to pay your rent within five days of the due date.  If you do not pay the ongoing rent within five days of each due date, the landlord can notify the court, and the appeal will be dismissed. 

The language that the Bond should include is in the landlord tenant law. A sample Bond is included in the packet of appeal documents attached to the previous section. You can calso find this document in the Forms and Materials section found at the end of the Classroom.
