Kentucky Revised Statute § 383.050, which historically addressed the sale of distrained property for rent, was formally repealed by the Kentucky legislature in 1976 and ceased to have legal effect on January 2, 1978. Distraint was an old legal remedy allowing landlords to seize a tenant's property as security for unpaid rent. Because § 383.050 no longer exists as active law, it imposes no current requirements, prohibitions, or permissions on any party.
