Landlord/tenant; extend notice of rental termination for nonpayment of rent.

HB 1352 would change Mississippi law to extend the notice period for tenants who miss rent payments. Currently, landlords must give tenants 5 days to pay overdue rent before starting eviction; this bill would increase that to 14 days. It directly affects renters who fall behind on payments and their landlords by providing more time to resolve payment issues. The key change is modifying Section 89-8-13(5)(a) of the Mississippi Code to require a 14-day notice period for nonpayment of rent. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and has not become law.
