MS HB835

Establishes new eviction procedures for residential landlords requiring a sworn affidavit stating facts for removal, property address, and amounts owed, along with copies of breach notices delivered to tenants

Requires tenants to receive at least 7 days to vacate after a judgment of possession, with summons disclosing their rights including 72 hours to retrieve personal property after warrant execution

Allows tenants facing eviction solely for nonpayment of rent to avoid removal by paying all unpaid rent and fees by the court-ordered move-out date; landlords must accept full payment in good faith

Shortens the notice period for nonpayment of rent from 14 days to 3 days before landlords can terminate the rental agreement and begin eviction proceedings

Permits landlords to charge double rent when tenants remain after lease expiration and notice to vacate, and limits eviction hearing adjournments to no more than 30 days total from filing date
