The court shall then\nissue an attachment for the rent against the personal property of the person liable for\nthe rent, to any county the person suing out the attachment may desire. But the\nattachment shall not issue until the plaintiff has given bond, with good surety, to\nindemnify the defendant should it appear that the attachment has been wrongfully\nobtained.\n(2) Attachments for rent issued shall be returned before the court issuing the\nattachment. The proceedings thereon shall be the same as on other attachments\naccording to KRS Chapter 425 and the Rules of Civil Procedure.\n(3) The defendant may deny the tenancy or his liability to pay rent, as stated in the\naffidavit. He may repossess himself of the property by executing bond in a manner\nsimilar to that prescribed in KRS Chapter 42 5, subject to similar proceedings if\nforfeited, as is prescribed by KRS Chapter 425 and the Rules of Civil Procedure on\nsuch a bond.","path":["KRS Chapter 383"],"source_url":"https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=35673","current_through":"Includes enactments through the 2026 Regular Session","vintage":"09/05/2026","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T20:59:13Z","sha256":"b6a5caedd1fae8f5b0810916942d5b46b4019d4dcb25f5d85f1cc77ea0e48606","source_id":"us-ky","stale":false,"prev":"us-ky/krs-383.020","next":"us-ky/krs-383.040"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
