Eviction Answer

About this resource

This form allows you respond to an eviction case after receiving a court notice. You can ask the court for more time before your hearing, negotiate an agreement with your landlord, or explain your defenses to the judge. Filing an Answer can also help protect your right to appeal if the court rules against you. If your case is in a City, Parish, or District court, you will need to file it with the correct court. If you hearing is in Justice of the Peace Court, you can use the form as a worksheet to prepare for your hearing.
