[RPPTL LandTen] HB 6069

[Kristopher Fernandez]

I am strongly against it the change.  Without the "default" language, a tenant can plead any defense the wants to plead, valid or not.  The result is to delay the landlord from quickly regaining possession of its property.  It will also increase the landlord's attorney fees if I now have to have an evidentiary hearing to overcome the tenant's defenses and obtain an eviction judgment.

.           Do you know who is proposing the change and why?

Good afternoon.  Attached for your consideration and comment is HB 6069 which was just introduced this week.  This bill seriously impacts how evictions will proceed so I thought it would be a good idea to get comments from all of you who practice in this area in advance of the Section taking a position on this.

Thank you.

Brenda
