Operative Text
383.040 Repealed, 1976. Catchline at repeal: Distress for rent due in money. History: Repealed 1976 (1st Extra. Sess.) Ky. Acts ch. 14, sec. 491, effective January 2, 1978. -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. secs. 2301, 2306.
Kentucky Revised Statute § 383.040, which historically addressed the remedy of distress for rent owed in money, was repealed by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1976 and ceased to have legal effect on January 2, 1978. The repeal means this provision no longer creates, limits, or governs any rights or obligations between landlords and tenants. Any legal framework that once existed under § 383.040 has been removed from Kentucky law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Because Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.040 was formally repealed effective January 2, 1978, property owners and managers cannot rely on it as a source of authority for any rent-collection remedy. Operators seeking to understand current Kentucky law on rent collection and related remedies should look to the statutes that replaced or superseded this provision. Maintaining familiarity with the current Kentucky Residential Landlord and Tenant Act is generally part of compliant property management practice.

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.040 no longer exists as active law, having been repealed effective January 2, 1978, so it neither grants nor removes any tenant rights today. Tenants researching historical distress-for-rent remedies should be aware that this section's repeal eliminated a once-available landlord tool under that specific citation. For questions about current tenant rights and protections in Kentucky, tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help identify the applicable statutes in force.
