Bill Summary

FORCIBLE ENTRY AND UNLAWFUL DETAINER -- Amends existing law to provide for the removal of a tenant's property following judgment in favor of a landlord in certain instances.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to provide for the removal of a tenant's property following a judgment in favor of the landlord in certain instances. Specifically, the bill requires that residential tenants be given 72 hours, and commercial tenants or those with land over 5 acres be given 7 days (with the possibility of a longer time period granted by the court for good cause), to remove their belongings from the premises after the court rules in favor of the landlord. After this time period, the sheriff can restore possession of the premises to the landlord, who can then remove and dispose of any remaining property. The bill also allows the court to award the landlord reasonable costs and expenses for the removal of property and restoration of the premises.
