Mississippi HB499 revises landlord-tenant laws, including eviction timelines and notice requirements.
Mississippi HB499 amends several sections of the Mississippi Code to revise landlord-tenant laws. It mandates that a sheriff or process server must leave the summons and sworn affidavit or complaint for eviction with a person or posted on the door of the premises within 72 hours of filing. The court date for eviction hearings must be no more than 14 days from the filing date. If a judgment of possession is granted, the tenant must vacate within seven days unless the court orders a shorter period due to emergency or compelling circumstances.
