Description

Initial hearings on a summons for unlawful detainer; plaintiff's possession of property at initial return date; immediate issuance of writs of possession in certain case judgments; written notice of satisfaction rendered in a court not of record. Provides that, if an initial hearing on a summons for unlawful detainer cannot be held within 21 days from filing, it may not be held later than 30 days from such filing. The bill requires the court to award a money judgment for any amounts contracted for in a rental agreement on the date of the hearing. The bill allows a plaintiff to continue an unlawful entry and detainer case for up to 120 days from the return date to establish final rent and damages, regardless of whether a judgment for possession is entered or writ for possession issued on the return date. The bill further clarifies types of judgments for which a writ of possession may be immediately executed. The bill also removes certain requirements for a written notice of satisfaction of judgment rendered in a court not of record. Read the Bill »
