§ 34-18-49. Payment of rent on stay of execution.
Whenever, in any action for the recovery of real property, the issuance of an execution,
or the service of an execution, is stayed by order of the court or by the operation
of law, the stay shall be conditioned upon the payment by tenant to the landlord of
sums of money equal to the rent for the premises, which sums shall be paid at such
times and in such amounts as rent would be due and payable were the action not then
pending. The acceptance of these sums shall not constitute a waiver of the right of
the landlord to obtain possession of the premises, nor shall the receipt thereof be
deemed to reinstate the tenancy.
