A. At the commencement of the term a landlord shall deliver

provided in this act, the landlord may bring an action for

possession against any other person wrongfully in possession and may

recover his damages.

wrongfully fails to comply within a reasonable time, the occupant

shall, upon conviction, be deemed guilty of a trespass and may be

punished by a fine of not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00)

or by confinement in the county jail for a period not to exceed

thirty (30) days or by both such fine and imprisonment.

residing in a dwelling unit shall be presumed reasonable for this

state. The two-person limitation shall not apply to a child or

children born to the tenants during the course of the lease.
