Statute 55-202: Same; action to obtain release; damages, costs and attorney's
fees; attachment.
Should the owner of such lease neglect or refuse to execute a release as
provided by this act, then the owner of the leased premises may sue in any
court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such release, and the owner may
also recover in such action of the lessee, his or her successors or assigns,
the sum of one hundred dollars as damages, and all costs, together with a
reasonable attorney's fee for preparing and prosecuting the suit, and he or
she may also recover any additional damages that the evidence in the case
will warrant. In all such actions, writs of attachment may issue as in
other cases.
