§ 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.
