Bill overview
This bill establishes a faster legal process, called an expedited ejectment proceeding, to help property owners remove unauthorized occupants from their real estate. It requires courts to quickly hear cases where someone is occupying property without the owner’s permission, payment, or a lease agreement. The bill includes specific requirements for notifying the occupant of the legal action and outlines potential penalties for fraudulent actions. It also allows the property owner to seek treble damages in addition to possession.
