Ky. Rev. Stat. ch. 383 § 383.270
Proceedings on judgments of circuit court
Operative Text
383.270 Proceedings on judgments of circuit court. After a cause is returned to the circuit court, execution for cost, or for restitution, shall issue from the office of that court, according to the judgment in the cause.
Kentucky Revised Statute § 383.270 governs what happens after a landlord-tenant case is transferred or returned to the circuit court. Once the case reaches that court, the circuit court has authority to issue execution orders—meaning formal legal processes to enforce the judgment—covering both the costs of the proceedings and any restitution ordered. The provision ensures that the circuit court, rather than a lower tribunal, carries out the enforcement of its own judgments.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.270, once a case involving your property is returned to the circuit court, that court takes over enforcement of any judgment, including orders for cost recovery and restitution. Compliant operators generally keep thorough records of all court proceedings and associated costs so they can accurately account for any amounts subject to execution. Understanding that enforcement authority shifts to the circuit court at this stage helps property managers anticipate the procedural timeline.

Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.270 means that if your case reaches the circuit court, that court holds the power to enforce any judgment—including restitution that may be owed to you—through formal execution proceedings. Tenants who believe they are owed restitution under a circuit court judgment can look to that court's processes as the mechanism for collecting what was awarded. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Kentucky circuit court procedures can help clarify what enforcement options may be available under this provision.
