This comprehensive book covers a wide range of complaints and pleadings, offering detailed outlines for every situation. You can easily navigate to specific sections as needed. It includes guidance on actions for tenant holdover (Chapter 13), failure to pay rent (Chapter 13), and instructions on handling parties and defenses.
This book specifically focuses on district court, where most of our complaints are filed. It covers everything from pleadings and landlord-tenant issues (Chapter 2) to filing the complaint and summons (page 19), service procedures (page 20), and how to obtain alternative means of service (page 22). Page 28 covers motions in detail, while page 70 is dedicated entirely to collections. Additional topics include rent escrow (page 90), breach of lease (page 93), tenant holdover (page 95), and wrongful detainer (page 96). Appendix C discusses fees, and Appendix D (page 165) provides a list of forms.
