Requiring cause for evictions from residential property, modifying the petition and notice requirements for eviction cases and removing the requirement to post bond before the court may grant a continuance.

Summary

The bill would permit landlords to sue for eviction only when a tenant breaks the lease, doesn’t pay rent, stays after the lease ends, creates a nuisance, damages the property, or enters without right. It also requires eviction petitions to include the written lease, the notice to vacate, and any exhibits, and sets strict time frames for summons and trials. The goal is to give renters clearer protections and ensure landlords follow proper procedures.
