Operative Text
383.150 Repealed, 1974. Catchline at repeal: Tenant wrongfully refusing to deliver possession liable for double rent -- When notice unnecessary. History: Repealed 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 378, sec. 45, effective August 1, 1974. -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 2293.
Kentucky Revised Statute § 383.150 was formally repealed in 1974 and no longer carries any legal force. At the time of its repeal, the provision addressed situations where a tenant wrongfully refused to deliver possession of a property, potentially subjecting that tenant to double rent, and outlined when notice was not required. Because the statute was eliminated by the 1974 Kentucky Acts, it does not create any current rights or obligations for any party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.150 has been repealed since August 1, 1974, meaning property owners cannot rely on its former double-rent remedy when a tenant refuses to vacate. Landlords dealing with holdover or wrongful-possession situations in Kentucky should look to the current statutes that replaced this provision for applicable rules and remedies. Consulting the current Kentucky landlord-tenant framework is the appropriate starting point for understanding what obligations and remedies now govern such circumstances.
