1999 SESSION
SB 1323 Landlord and tenant; escrow of rent for continuance.
Introduced by: Martin E. Williams | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Landlord and tenant; escrow of rent for continuance. Requires the tenant to place rent due as of the initial court date into escrow in an unlawful detainer action in order for the court to allow a continuance or schedule the case for a full hearing. Failure to pay the rent due into escrow results in a judgment against the tenant. However, if the court finds that the tenant has asserted a good faith defense, the court shall not require the rent to be escrowed. If the landlord requests a continuance or sets the matter for contested trial, the court shall not require the rent to be escrowed. The court may disburse the moneys held in escrow to the landlord for payment of his mortgage or other expenses relating to the dwelling unit.
