Landlord Tenant provisions; revise time periods for eviction and removal.

HB 1421, which died in committee in February 2025, proposed significant changes to Mississippi's eviction process. It would have required eviction documents (summons and complaint) to be served within 72 hours of filing, set court hearings within 14 days, and mandated a 7-day minimum move-out period after a judgment (removing the court's ability to extend this). The bill also required specific notices in summonses explaining tenant rights, including the right to pay rent before a hearing to avoid eviction. These changes would have directly affected tenants facing eviction and landlords seeking possession of rental properties.
