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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p>
