If you default you will be evicted automatically. You must Pay the disputed rent into the court clerk and wait for the judge to decide.
You have to pay the disputed rental in to the court registry in order to be able to argue the defenses that you allege. You should prepare a response to the complaint within the 5 days required by law and pay the amounts due, even if they are improper. You will get them back from the clerk if the Court finds you are correct.
