Answer:   Let’s start from when you filed you eviction in court. The First Appearance is the time noted in the Summons for both parties to appear in person (or via Zoom).

Answer: This is a timely and important question. In March 2023 HB 2001 was enacted, which reinstated some of the earlier Pandemic tenant protections including restoring the 10-day and 13- day period in nonpayment of rent notices.

Answer: This was covered in a December 2016 MHCO Article. The major change in the law since then was due to the elimination of 72-hour notices of nonpayment of rent. Now a 10-day notice must be issued.
