Cal. Civ. Code § 89-8-43
Residential evictions; appeals from final judgments.
Operative Text
Appeals from final judgments under this chapter shall be pursuant to applicable Mississippi Rules of Court. History Laws, 2022, ch. 501, § 7, eff from and after passage (approved April 21, 2022).
Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-43 establishes that any party who receives a final judgment in a residential eviction case brought under Chapter 8 may appeal that judgment by following the standard Mississippi Rules of Court that govern appeals generally. The provision does not create a separate or special appeals process for eviction cases; instead, it directs litigants to the same procedural framework used in other civil matters. This rule has been in effect since April 21, 2022, when it was enacted as part of a broader update to Mississippi's residential landlord-tenant law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-43, a landlord who receives an unfavorable final judgment in a residential eviction proceeding retains the right to appeal by following the Mississippi Rules of Court applicable to appeals. Compliant operators typically track the deadlines and procedural requirements set out in those rules, since failure to meet them can forfeit the right to appellate review. Consulting with a licensed Mississippi attorney familiar with civil appellate procedure is a common step for landlords considering this path.

Miss. Code Ann. § 89-8-43 means that a tenant who receives an adverse final judgment in an eviction case has the same right to appeal as any other civil litigant, governed by the standard Mississippi Rules of Court. Tenants who believe a judgment was entered in error can explore this avenue, keeping in mind that appellate rules impose strict filing deadlines. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices in Mississippi can help explain what those procedural requirements generally look like and what resources may be available.
