Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

It might not have been a mistake on the part of the landlord to include your father in the unlawful detainer complaint. If the lease or rental contract had your and your father's name on it would be one reason why the landlord would include him in the complaint.

When addressing the question of the response to the complaint, you need to assess what is the purpose in defending the action. Is it because you believe you have valid defenses to the complaint? Is it because you believe the landlord filed the complaint without merit and should be dismissed? Or are you just seeking extra time to locate replacement housing? Answering this question will give you a better idea of how you should handle your response to the unlawful detainer complaint.
