(2) You need more time to prepare to present your defense. You must
state what your defense is and why you need more time to prepare
it. Some possible defenses are described in section 1 on page 11.
Example:
I need more time to prepare to present the following
defenses: The landlord has failed to maintain fit
premises as required by AS 34.03.100. On March 5, a
pipe broke in the unit above mine, and water came
through the ceiling of my living room and ruined my
couch and all the books in my bookcase. I notified the
landlord immediately, and the landlord had a plumber
stop the leak. I was unable to use the room for the
rest of the month while the ceiling was being repaired
and the carpet replaced. The landlord said he would
not charge me rent for that month, and now he’s trying
to evict me for not paying that rent.
The reasons I need more time to present these defenses are:
(describe why you need more time to gather evidence
and/or witnesses) My neighbor, Adam Fleischman, was
there when the landlord said I didn’t have to pay the
rent, but now Adam is away on a job in North Dakota.
Adam will be back in two weeks and can testify for me.
