1. Pre-Default: $440.00.  This is the first step in initiating your complaint.  This fee includes the preparation of court required documents and miscellaneous fee's.  If your tenant vacates or you accept payment for any portion of past due rent after the documents have been prepared, you remain responsible for the entire fee.

2. Tenant Response to Summons: The tenant has five (5) days to reply to the complaint, after personal service. 

    a) Uncontested-  If the tenant does not reply within the five (5) days, after service of the complaint, the case is "uncontested' and a "default' judgment for the landlord for 'possession only' is rendered.  The court then issues a 'lock out' date. Whether or not the tenant moves out prior to the lock-out date, the Default Package is $650.00.  You will receive a letter with the option to obtain money collection and an Abstract of Judgment, if not already indicated above.

    b) Contested- If the tenant responds to the complaint. a trial is then requested and a trial date is set by the court. An attorney, along with a witness for the landlord, will appear at trial.  Total fee:$850.00.
