House & Apartment
Worried about doing this on your own? You may be able to get free legal help.
Use this form if you were sued for eviction after your landlord posted the eviction notice on your door. It will help you dismiss the case because landlords must either hand-deliver or send the eviction notice via certified mail .
Can I use this form?
To use this form, you must be a tenant who is being sued for eviction. This means you have received a Summons and Complaint. Your landlord also must have posted your eviction notice on your door or left it somewhere for you to pick up. If your landlord handed you your eviction notice or sent it to you via certified mail you cannot use this form.
What do I need first?
You will need:
- Your name,
- Your landlord's name,
- The case number (look at your Summons and Complaint for this),
- Date you found the eviction notice,
- A copy of the Eviction Notice, with "Exhibit A" written on top (you will file this with the form), and
- A filled out Notice of Motion.
Note: You must send or deliver a copy of the Notice and Motion to your landlord the way you say you will in the Notice.
