Record, appeals.
Operative Text
The judge before whom proceedings shall be had against a tenant holding over, shall keep a full record of the proceedings, and shall carefully preserve all papers in the cause. Appeals from final judgements under this chapter shall be pursuant to applicable Mississippi Rules of Court. History Codes, 1857, ch. 41, art. 39; 1871, § 1659; 1880, § 1343; 1892, § 2557; 1906, § 2895; Hemingway’s 1917, § 2393; 1930, § 2236; 1942, § 958; Laws, 2022, ch. 501, § 21, eff from and after passage (approved April 21, 2022).
Mississippi Code § 89-7-47 establishes two procedural requirements for holdover-tenant proceedings: the presiding judge must maintain a complete record of the case and preserve all related documents, and any party wishing to challenge a final judgment may do so through an appeal governed by the applicable Mississippi Rules of Court. This provision ensures that a reliable record exists for any subsequent review. It applies to proceedings brought under Chapter 7 of Title 89, which covers landlord-tenant disputes involving tenants who remain after their right to possession has ended.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-7-47, compliant operators in holdover proceedings generally ensure that all filings, notices, and evidence submitted to the court are complete and well-organized, since the judge is required to preserve the full record. If a final judgment does not go in the landlord's favor, the Mississippi Rules of Court govern the process for pursuing an appeal. Keeping thorough internal documentation of the tenancy and any communications can support a clear court record throughout the proceeding.

Miss. Code Ann. § 89-7-47 guarantees that a full record of any holdover proceeding is kept by the court, which means tenants have access to documented evidence of what occurred during the case. If a final judgment is entered against a tenant, the provision expressly preserves the right to appeal under the applicable Mississippi Rules of Court. Tenants who believe a judgment was in error may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider to understand the appellate process and applicable deadlines.
