After you serve your tenant with the Summons and Complaint forms, your tenant has 10 days to file a response with the court (or 20 days if they weren't served in person).

If they respond, your next step depends on how they respond:

• Your tenant filed an Answer
• Your tenant filed some other type of response

If your tenant did not file any

At your trial, the judge will hear from both sides and decide if you have to move out and if you owe your landlord money.
