Operative Text
The bond for an attachment for rent or supplies may be in the following form, viz.: “We, , principal, and and , sureties, bind ourselves to pay the sum of dollars, unless the said principal obligor herein shall pay to the said all such damages as he shall sustain by reason of the wrongful suing out of an attachment for rent and supplies [if for rent only, strike out the words ‘and supplies;’ and if for supplies only, strike out the words ‘rent and’] in favor of said principal obligor against the said obligee for dollars, for rent and supplies [if for rent only, strike out the words ‘and supplies;’ and if for supplies only, strike out the words ‘rent and’] due and in arrears [or if the attachment be for a debt to become due, strike out the words ‘due and in arrears,’ and insert ‘to become due on the day of , A.D. ’] upon certain leased premises, in County. “Witness our hands, this the day of , A.D. “, ” “The above bond is approved by me, this day of , A.D. . “, J.P.” History Codes, 1892, § 2506; 1906, § 2843; Hemingway’s 1917, § 2341; 1930, § 2193; 1942, § 915.
Mississippi Code Ann. § 89-7-65 establishes the official template language for the bond that must accompany an attachment proceeding related to unpaid rent or supplies. The form requires a principal and at least two sureties to commit to paying a specified dollar amount if the attachment is later found to have been wrongfully issued. The statute also provides bracketed instructions for adapting the form depending on whether the attachment covers rent only, supplies only, or both, and whether the debt is already due or will become due in the future.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-7-65, a landlord who pursues an attachment for rent or supplies is generally expected to execute a bond in the form the statute prescribes, naming a principal and sureties and specifying the dollar amount at stake. Compliant operators typically ensure the bond is completed with the correct bracketed language struck out or retained to reflect whether the claim involves rent, supplies, or both, and whether the amount is currently due or will become due. The bond must be approved by a justice of the peace, so coordinating with the appropriate official is part of the standard process under this provision.

Miss. Code Ann. § 89-7-65 means that when a landlord initiates an attachment proceeding against a tenant for rent or supplies, the landlord is required to post a bond in the statutory form, backed by sureties, that can be used to compensate the tenant if the attachment is later determined to have been wrongfully obtained. This bond requirement exists as a built-in protection: if an attachment is found to be improper, the tenant may have a basis to seek damages from the bond. Tenants who believe an attachment was wrongfully issued may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney familiar with Mississippi landlord-tenant law to understand what remedies may be available under this provision.
