Re: eviction
A proper answer raising triable issues of fact assures the tenant of a right to a trial. "Proper" does not necessarily mean "truthful;" it only means that something which would be a defense, if true, and that the pleading is in the proper legal form, duly filed and served.
Re: eviction
The matter is at issue and therefore a trial date should be assigned. Whether or not your county requires an at-issue memorandum, would be in the local rules. You would be well served by obtianing representation.
