The bill amends existing laws regarding unlawful detainer actions and the execution of writs of possession in Arkansas. It introduces new provisions that specifically address the removal of manufactured homes or mobile homes from properties subject to a writ of possession. Under the amended law, if a manufactured home or mobile home owned by the defendants remains on the property after twenty-four hours from the service of the writ, the defendants are required to either remove the home or coordinate with the plaintiff for its removal within thirty days. The costs associated with this removal will be the responsibility of the defendants.

Additionally, if the manufactured home or mobile home is not removed within the specified timeframe, the plaintiff can request the court to issue an order declaring the home abandoned. This change aims to streamline the process of handling manufactured homes or mobile homes in unlawful detainer situations, ensuring that property can be cleared in a timely manner while also establishing clear responsibilities for the defendants.
