To respond to the eviction case, you start with filling out an Answer or other response forms. Then, you file them with the court. This gives you the chance to tell the judge if there are any legal reasons your landlord can't evict you and tell your side of the story at a court trial.
To write an eviction notice, you need to include specific information such as addresses, tenant names, lease status and date, reasons for eviction, the date the tenant must leave the property, and record of delivery. Make sure to follow your state's laws regarding notice requirements and timeline for eviction.
