Property Law

• Landlord-Tenant Disputes
  In an unlawful detainer suit to evict a tenant, the bill adds additional protections for tenants. Upon application by the tenant, a judge can delay an eviction by as long as 90 days after considering several factors including the tenant’s financial circumstances, good faith, history, ability to pay the past-due rent, and hardship if evicted. The tenant must stay current on future rent and repay the past-due rent within the additional time given by the court. The tenant must pay at least one-month of past-due rent per month. In addition to past-due rent, the tenant must pay any late fees, court costs, and attorney fees due before the end of the extension. A tenant who has had three or more notices served on him for late rent cannot apply for this extension. The procedures in this portion of the bill are extensive and complicated, and landlord and tenant should study them carefully.
