(2) Following issuance of the writ, at the plaintiffs request, the sheriff shall delay enforcement and service of the writ. (3) Any writ not enforced and served within 30 days following issuance expires and becomes unenforceable unless the court extends the operation of the writ before the writ expires based on a showing of good cause by the sheriff. If the court extends the operation of a writ under this subsection, the sheriff shall promptly notify the plaintiff of the extension. (4) A judgment may not be enforced if the parties have entered a new rental agreement or if the plaintiff has accepted rent for a period of occupancy beginning after the judgment was entered.
