Re: Eviction

You have five days from the date you were served with the summons and complaint to file an answer. If you are indigent, you can contact Legal Aid. You can find the answer form at http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/fillable/ud105.pdf. If an adult lives with you who's not on the lease, they would have to fill out the prejudgment claim. You might also fill out an application for fee waiver, http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/fillable/fw001.pdf and an order http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/fillable/fw003.pdf if applicable. See information sheet at http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/documents/fw001info.pdf. Good luck.
