Have you been served with eviction paperwork (a Summons and a Complaint-Unlawful Detainer)? You may only have five days to respond! At this clinic, attendees seeking assistance with answering an unlawful detainer (eviction) complaint will be guided through the Tenant Power Toolkit (www.tenantpowertoolkit.org) to complete the necessary court forms.
Participants must bring their Summons and Complaint-Unlawful Detainer to the workshop.
This workshop covers:
- How to use the Tenant Power Toolkit

- How to request a fee waiver
- How to use the Tenant Power Toolkit to find legal support

All other tenants will have to file the documents the Toolkit creates in person, at the courthouse listed on your Summons and Complaint.
