FAQ
Unlawful detainer actions require a landlord to provide you with a three days' written notice to vacate. If you do not leave, the landlord can sue by filing a complaint against you in court. After you receive a summons to appear in court, you have five days to object in writing to the eviction.
Normally, a judge will hear and decide the unlawful detainer case within 20 days after the tenant files an answer. The court-administered eviction process assures the tenant of the right to a court hearing if the tenant believes that the landlord has no right to evict the tenant.
Once the Unlawful Detainer lawsuit is filed and the tenant has been served, the court proceedings begin. This stage determines whether the landlord has legal grounds to regain possession of the property. Deadline to Respond: Tenants have 10 business days from the date they were served to file a response with the court.

Jury demand. (a) A plaintiff desirous of a trial by jury must file a demand therefor with the clerk at the time the action is commenced. A defendant desirous of a trial by jury must file a demand therefor not later than the filing of his or her answer. Otherwise, the party waives a jury.
In the demand a party may specify the issues which the party wishes so tried; otherwise the party shall be deemed to have demanded trial by jury for all the issues so triable.
