California Unlawful Detainer & Eviction Documents

Professional Document Preparation for Landlords and Tenants

TENANT SECTION

Eviction Response Documents for Tenants

Receiving an eviction Summons and Complaint can be stressful. Court deadlines in unlawful detainer cases are short, so documents should be addressed promptly.

The Paralegal Group provides document-preparation assistance for self-represented tenants who have received an eviction notice or unlawful detainer court papers.

Tenant documents may include:

  • Answer

  • Fee-waiver request

  • Proposed fee-waiver order

  • Proof of service documents

  • Client-directed factual attachments

  • additional pages

  • Declarations

  • Exhibit organization

  • Form interrogatories and discovery documents

  • Request to Set Case for Trial

  • Stipulation documents

  • Settlement-document formatting

  • Court filing coordination

  • Certified mailing and document tracking

We use the The Judicial Council form used by a tenant to tell the court and landlord the tenant’s response to the allegations in the Complaint. The form also contains sections where the tenant can state defenses and objections, with supporting facts supplied by the tenant.
