Housing

SB 2328 clarifies eviction procedures for residential tenants and RV park residents in Mississippi. It requires landlords to provide tenants 72 hours after a court-ordered removal to retrieve personal property, and mandates law enforcement to physically remove occupants (not just post notices) to hand possession to landlords. The bill also establishes specific rules for RV park removals, allowing owners to remove residents for certain violations but prohibiting removal based on race, disability, or other protected characteristics. Tenants must still be given access to their property during the 72-hour period following removal.

HB 1086 authorizes the University of Mississippi to lease specific campus properties (including Kincannon, West Row, South Parking Lot, and other designated areas) to private partners for 45 years (with renewal options) to develop academic buildings, housing, dining, parking, and retail spaces. All lease proceeds must be deposited into a special fund exclusively for the university’s use, and the properties must revert to the university at lease end. The bill requires approval from the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning and preserves the state’s mineral rights. The bill died on the calendar in March 2025 and was never enacted.
