After you serve your tenant with the Summons and Complaint forms, your tenant has 10 days to file a response with the court (or 20 days if they weren't served in person). Depending on how (and if) they respond, you have some options for next steps.
No lease Agreement What Are my Rights: Know Your Protections These include the right to a habitable living space, privacy, and proper notice before eviction. Landlords must provide essential services such as water, electricity, and heat, and they cannot enter the rental unit without prior notice except in emergencies.

They are more common in certain areas and in apartment complexes or rental communities managed by large property management companies. The legality and limit of move-in fees can vary by jurisdiction, with some areas having specific regulations that cap these fees or dictate what they can be used for.
Communicate with the Landlord: Reach out to your landlord via email or any other written communication method to dispute the charges. Politely explain your position, provide any evidence you have, and request a detailed breakdown of the charges.
