SECTION 4
DEFAULT OR
REQUEST FOR TRIAL
Request for Entry of Default
If the Tenant fails to answer within their allowed time
period, based on the method of service, the Landlord can
file a request to enter default. Once a default is entered by
the court, the tenant is prevented from objecting to the
Unlawful Detainer unless permission is received from the
court, typically through an Ex-Parte Motion.
When a tenant doesn’t file an answer, the case goes
significantly faster, as a court date is not needed to see
a judge to discuss the facts of the case. The writ and
judgment for possession can then be immediately filed in
order to proceed with a sheriff lockout.
