Prepare Application
First, prepare an application for entry of default. You can use court form CIV-740
Default Application and Affidavit. Type or print neatly using black ink.
Case Caption. Fill out the top of the form (the court location, the names of the parties
and the case number) the same way the complaint is filled out.
Affidavit Section. A few sub-sections are discussed in more detail below.
a. Section 2. Check the court file to make sure that no answer has been filed.
b. Sections 3 and 4. If the defendant is a person under age 18, a person in the active
military service, or a mentally incompetent person, you can’t use the CIV-740
form, because there are special laws protecting these people. These laws may
require that the defendant get a lawyer or guardian at your expense, or may
prevent you from getting a default judgment. You will probably want to talk to a
lawyer if this is your situation.
c. Section 5. You must attach documentation to support all claims.
1. Unpaid Rent. List the amount owed for each month.
Example: $400 a month for June and July = $800
Attach a copy of the rental agreement or lease and record of payments.
2. Damages to premises. List separately each item of damage to the property
and attach documentation (such as invoices or receipts) to support the amount
of the damage.
Example:
Replace window screens $100
Cleaning by A-1 Cleaning $ 90
Total Damages $190
Attach an invoice from the hardware store and/or window repair person,
and the invoice from the cleaning service. If you are charging for time
you spent cleaning or making repairs, you should itemize your hourly rate
and the hours you worked.
If you have more than three items of damage, make a separate list and attach it
to the form. Only write on one side of the page. On the form, write
