[RPPTL LandTen] Jurisdiction Question

[Lainie Simon]

  The interesting question is how much the county court can require to 
be deposited into the court registry--more than $15,000.00?   I 
represent landlords in about 10 counties and county court judges do not 
order more than $15,000.00 to be deposited.  If you client has the $15k, 
it can buy some time, maybe a lot depending on the county.
