Rule 1163 Other Remedies

If you are a landlord trying to collect unpaid rent or regain your property, you are not limited to just the court procedures described in the surrounding rules. You can still use other legal options that exist outside of those rules.

For example, you may still have the right to seize a tenant's belongings to cover unpaid rent, or to physically enter the property, depending on what the law allows in your situation. The court procedures in Rules 1161 and 1162 are just additional tools, not replacements for your other rights.
