Amendment History
(P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 505.)
Plain-English Summary
Section 21-19 draws a clear boundary between ordinary receivers and receivers of rents. It states that Sections 21-1 through 21-15 — the rules covering how receivers are appointed, confirmed, bonded, and how they handle claims and estate liquidation — do not apply to receivers of rents.
Because the section names Sections 21-1 through 21-15 specifically, it leaves open whether other rules in the chapter, such as those on removal or ancillary receivers, apply to receivers of rents. The sections that follow set out a separate framework tailored to receivers of rents, covering their appointment and bond requirements.
