A Mississippi judge ruled the law that allows landlords to take anything in a home after the time period of an eviction order is unconstitutional.
A federal judge this week ruled that in addition to landlords acting on the Mississippi law being mean-spirited to evicted tenants, the law that allows them to seize belongings in the home is unconstitutional, to begin with, according to The Associated Press.
Samantha Conner of Columbus, Mississippi sued her apartment rental company, the apartment owner, and the Lowndes County Constable in 2020 for the landlord's actions following her 2019 eviction. Following the order, the state legislature will likely evaluate the existing eviction laws during the legislative session that begins in January.Sen. Elizabeth Warren , Rep. Cori Bush , Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attend a news conference to introduce legislation that would give the Department of Health and Human Services the power to impose a federal eviction moratorium in the interest of public health, on Capitol Hill September 21, 2021 in Washington, D.C.
Mills' order will be stayed pending an appeal. Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's Chief of Staff Michelle Williams said Friday that the office was reviewing the order and evaluating its next steps.
