HB3690 Summary

• Changes the enforcement period for eviction judgments in forcible entry cases from 90 days to 120 days after judgment is entered, unless the court grants an extension upon the plaintiff's motion.

• Requires landlords to provide specific written notice to defendants informing them of the 120-day enforcement period and the grounds on which tenants can challenge eviction extension motions (post-judgment agreements, cured breaches, or other legal/equitable defenses).

• Modifies foreclosure proceedings to extend the enforcement period for orders of possession against occupants from 90 days to 120 days, with provisions allowing extensions under the same standards as eviction judgments.

• Provides tenant protections in foreclosures by allowing tenants current on rent, or those making good-faith payment efforts, to retain possession for 120 days following notice of hearing or through lease duration, whichever is shorter.

• Requires court records for supplemental possession petitions involving protected tenants to be sealed and not disclosed to the public without court order.
