Description
Unlawful detainer proceedings; satisfaction of judgments. Makes several changes to the unlawful detainer process: (i) clarifies that an attorney can submit documents into evidence without an affidavit; (ii) provides that if a lease requires rent to be due in advance of the first of the month, then the amount due at the date of the hearing includes the rent for the entire month and it shall not be prorated; (iii) allows a landlord to present evidence by affidavit; (iv) allows a judge to enter an order of immediate possession when the tenant appears in court (current law only permits immediate possession if the tenant fails to appear); and (v) clarifies that, for unlawful detainer proceedings, there are separate judgments for money and for possession. The bill also requires a creditor to note satisfaction of a judgment only when it has been fully paid. Read the Bill »
