## When you need form UD-116

The UD-116 Unlawful Detainer - Declaration for Default Judgment form is essential in the eviction process, specifically when a landlord is seeking a court-ordered judgment against a tenant who has failed to respond to an eviction lawsuit. This form is used when the landlord initiates an unlawful detainer action, and the tenant has not answered the complaint within the designated time frame, leading to a default.

- **Triggering Event:** The tenant's failure to respond to the eviction notice, such as a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit, within the allotted time.
- **Before Filing UD-116:** The landlord must have filed an unlawful detainer complaint using forms like the UD-100 Complaint or UD-105 Answer (if it was anticipated that the tenant might respond and did not).
- **Process Necessity:** If the tenant does not respond, a landlord may use UD-116 to request a default judgment, which may include possession of the property, past-due rent, and potential damages.

In summary, the UD-116 is a critical step in the legal eviction process for obtaining a court judgment against a defaulting tenant. It follows preliminary actions such as serving required notices and filing an initial complaint, ensuring landlords can lawfully regain possession of their property.

‍

## How to file form UD-116

- **Identify the Appropriate Court**: Determine which Superior Court in California has jurisdiction over the unlawful detainer case based on the location of the property.
- **Prepare the Documentation**: Fill out the UD-116 form with accurate details and ensure all necessary exhibits such as the rental agreement and notices are attached.
- **File with the Court Clerk**: Submit the form and accompanying documents to the court clerk where your original complaint was filed.
- **Pay Filing Fees**: Be prepared to pay any applicable court fees at the time of filing or submit a fee waiver request if eligible.
- **Await Judgment**: After filing, the court will review the documentation and issue a default judgment if all requirements are met, granting the requested relief.

‍

## Tips for filling out form UD-116

### When completing form UD-116, pay special attention to these less obvious sections:

Item 12d

#### Holdover Calculation

Accurate calculation of holdover damages is crucial. Confirm the daily rental value and multiply it by the correct number of days the tenant stayed past the lease term. This must align with your claims in the complaint to avoid discrepancies.

Item 13

#### Attorney Fees

The lease or rental agreement must explicitly allow for attorney fees. If it does, specify the paragraph number. Be prepared to justify the amount sought with a clear breakdown of hours worked and the hourly rate.

Item 3

#### Personal Knowledge

Ensure you have direct knowledge of the facts you are declaring. This means you should be fully familiar with the details of the rental agreement, the defendant's payment record, and the condition of the property. If you are not directly involved in these matters, consider obtaining affidavits or declarations from individuals who are.

Item 5a

#### Rent Changes

Multiple rent changes can complicate calculations, so make sure to provide a clear history of all changes and their effective dates. Use form MC-025 to elaborate on this history if necessary. This helps the court understand the context of any rent due.

Item 6c

#### Aligning Rent Demands

If the rent demanded differs from the agreed rent in section 4a(2), explain why. Include any relevant dates covered by notices and detail any partial payments received to justify the balance you are claiming.

Item 7a

#### Serving Notice

Choose the method of service carefully. Personal service is the most direct and leaves fewer grounds for disputing notice delivery. If using substituted service or posting, ensure compliance with the specific legal requirements for these methods.

## What to do after filing form UD-116

1

Confirm Filing: Ensure that the UD-116 form and all necessary exhibits have been correctly filed with the court. Check if you received a confirmation or stamped copy from the court clerk.

2

Serve Defendant: Confirm that the defendant has been properly served with the requisite documents, including the summons and complaint, if this has not already been completed. Ensure proof of service is documented.

3

Await Court Response: Wait for the court to process your Declaration for Default Judgment. This may take some time depending on the court's backlog.

4

Check for Hearing Notice: Be on the lookout for any notices from the court regarding a hearing date. The court might schedule a hearing to review the details of the default judgment request.

5

Prepare for Potential Hearing: If a hearing is scheduled, prepare to present the case for default judgment. Gather all relevant documents and evidence, such as proof of service and any unpaid rent documentation, to support your claim.
