Default Judgment-Unlawful Detainer {LACIV119}

LACIV 119, DEFAULT JUDGMENT - UNLAWFUL DETAINER. This form is used in the Los Angeles Superior Court for obtaining a default judgment in an unlawful detainer case. An unlawful detainer case is a type of lawsuit that a landlord can file against a tenant who refuses to leave the property after receiving proper notice to vacate. If the court grants the request for default judgment, the landlord will be awarded possession of the property and any rent or damages owed by the tenant. The tenant may have the opportunity to file a motion to set aside the default judgment if they can show that they had a valid defense to the eviction and were not properly notified of the lawsuit. It is important to note that obtaining a default judgment in an unlawful detainer case can be a complex process, and both landlords and tenants should consult with an attorney or a legal aid organization for guidance.
