CIV-720 EVICTION BOOKLET (8/23) 21
 VI. DEFAULT JUDGMENT
If the defendant does not file a written answer to the complaint, whether or not they
appeared in court for the eviction hearing or filed any other written response with the court,
the plaintiff can ask for a default judgment. The procedure for getting a default judgment is
explained below. Civil Rule 55.
* NOTE * If you want to ask for a default judgment for a higher amount of damages than
what was in the original complaint, you must serve the defendant with either (1) a copy
of the default application or (2) an amended complaint that includes the new amount of
damages you are asking for. You must do service by process server, certified mail
restricted delivery, or other acceptable Civil Rule 4 method.
