In our continuing effort to respond to needs of East St. Tammany residents, I want you to know about a new law that will give you greater access to Slidell City Court for filing evictions. The reason I worked with Rep. Kevin Pearson (Dist. 76) to get this new law passed is simple: it’s going to save you time, money and inconvenience.

 

As of Aug. 15, you can file any residential eviction lawsuit at this Court, regardless of the amount of rent you charge your tenants.  Since housing prices and rents continue to grow, this change will benefit more local landlords each year.

 

Also under this new law, more commercial evictions can be heard in Slidell City Court, where it’s more convenient to residents of East St. Tammany. The limit on commercial evictions pursued through this Court has risen to $5,000 per month as of Aug. 15, 2010.

 

If you have any other changes for our Court you wish for me to consider, please send me the information in an email to info@CityCourtOfSlidell.org. It’s my belief Slidell City Court should always be actively looking for more ways to be the resource our community needs and deserves.
