Create a limited remedy to remove unauthorized persons from residential property

HB 501 proposed a new, limited process for residential property owners to remove individuals unlawfully occupying their homes. Under this bill, owners could submit a complaint to local law enforcement, who would then verify the owner's claim and serve a 24-hour notice to vacate to the unauthorized person. This process was specifically for individuals who had unlawfully entered and remained, and it did not apply to current or former tenants with written agreements or immediate family members. The bill also outlined conditions for owners to meet and allowed individuals wrongfully removed to pursue legal action against the owner.
