As with other types of litigation, most landlord tenant disputes are resolved through negotiations rather than through actual trial.
General Sessions Courts have original jurisdiction in detainer warrant matters. These Courts have the authority to enter a judgment in an unlimited amount for rent and damages while the Tenant is in possession. However, assuming the Landlord has obtained possession and a civil warrant is filed for collection of rental arrearage and damages, General Sessions Courts are limited in that jurisdiction to $25,000.00. For the purpose of calculating whether a judgment entered in General Sessions is within or exceeds the monetary jurisdictional limit the following amounts shall not be included: Attorneys fees, court costs and any discretionary costs.
