SCS SB 231 -- LANDLORD-TENANT ACTIONS

This bill exempts landlords, or any of their successors, assigns,
agents, or representatives, from liability for any loss or damage
to household goods, furnishings, fixtures, or other personal
property resulting from the removal or disposal of the property
under a court-ordered execution for possession of the premises
except for willful, wanton, or malicious acts or omissions.  If
any property bears a conspicuous permanent label or mark
identifying it as the property of a third party, the landlord
must notify the third party by certified mail with a return
receipt requested to remove the property within five business
days of receipt of the notification to recover the property.  If
the landlord is unable to notify the third party, he or she may
dispose of the property and will not be liable for the loss or
damages.
