(c) (1) If, at the trial on the fifth day indicated in subsection (b) of this
section, the court is satisfied that the interests of justice will be better served by an
adjournment to enable either party to procure [his] THEIR necessary witnesses, [he]
THE COURT may adjourn the trial for a period not exceeding one day, except that if the
consent of all parties is obtained, the trial may be adjourned for a longer period of
time.

(3) The court, when entering the judgment, shall also order the tenant to
yield and render possession of the premises to the landlord, or [his] THE LANDLORD'S
agent or attorney, within 4 days after the trial.

(5) However, if the tenant, or someone for [him] THE TENANT, at the
trial, or adjournment of the trial, tenders to the landlord the rent determined by the
court to be due and unpaid, together with the costs of the suit, the complaint against
the tenant shall be entered as being satisfied.

(d) (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of this subsection, if
judgment is given in favor of the landlord, and the tenant fails to comply with the
requirements of the order within 4 days, the court shall, at any time after the
expiration of the 4 days, issue its warrant, directed to any official of the county
entitled to serve process, ordering [him] THE OFFICIAL to cause the landlord to have
again and repossess the property by putting [him] THE LANDLORD (or [his] THE
LANDLORD'S duly qualified agent or attorney for [his] THE LANDLORD'S benefit) in
possession thereof, and for that purpose to remove from the property, by force if
necessary, all the furniture, implements, tools, goods, effects or other chattels of every
description whatsoever belonging to the tenant, or to any person claiming or holding
by or under said tenant. If the landlord does not order a warrant of restitution within
sixty days from the date of judgment or from the expiration date of any stay of
execution, whichever shall be the later, the judgment for possession shall be stricken.

(e) In any action of summary ejectment for failure to pay rent where the
landlord is awarded a judgment giving [him] THE LANDLORD restitution of the
leased premises, the tenant shall have the right to redemption of the leased premises
by tendering in cash, certified check or money order to the landlord or [his] THE
LANDLORD'S agent all past due rent and late fees, plus all court awarded costs and
fees, at any time before actual execution of the eviction order. This subsection does not
apply to any tenant against whom 3 judgments of possession have been entered for
rent due and unpaid in the 12 months prior to the initiation of the action to which this
subsection otherwise would apply.

8-402.

(a) (1) A tenant under any lease or someone holding under [him] THE
TENANT, who shall unlawfully hold over beyond the termination of the lease, shall be
liable to the landlord for the actual damages caused by the holding over.

(2) The damages awarded to a landlord against the tenant or someone
holding under [him] THE TENANT, may not be less than the apportioned rent for the
period of holdover at the rate under the lease.
