Appeals, defendant to furnish bond to stay execution
If someone loses a court case about being removed from a home or property and wants to appeal, they have to put up a bond (a kind of money guarantee) within ten days of the judge's decision. That bond has to cover any damages, costs, and rent already owed. While the appeal is going on, the person also has to pay any new rent into the court within ten days of when it comes due, and they have to agree not to damage the property. If the losing side posts this bond, they get to stay in the property while waiting for the appeal to be decided.
