MS SB2716

Clarifies that eviction summons must state the hearing date in the summons itself, and requires notice to tenants that landlords may dispose of abandoned personal property without further legal action.

Requires magistrates to issue eviction warrants immediately upon request when a judgment of eviction is granted, except when prohibited under Section 89-7-45.

Allows warrant issuance to be stayed in nonpayment of rent cases only if the tenant pays the full amount of rent due, accrued late fees, and court costs before the warrant is issued; otherwise the magistrate must immediately issue the warrant.

Permits magistrates to grant a stay not exceeding three (3) days only for good cause shown in the interests of justice and equity, but prohibits any stay if it would result in material injury to the landlord's property.

Deems tenant personal property abandoned if not removed by the date ordered by the judge, allowing landlords to dispose of it without further notice or obligation to the tenant.
