 Ask the clerk to stamp your two copies of the Answer as “Filed.” One
copy is for you to keep. Mail the other copy to the landlord that filed
the Complaint. Be sure to take your copy of the Answer with you to
your hearing.

□ Give the Judgment form to the clerk. Ask the clerk to lodge the
Judgment in the file. Lodging means that the clerk will not officially
file the document in your court file, but will just keep the Judgment
inside the court file so the judge can look at it in the future. If the clerk
will not lodge the Judgment, you will need to keep the Judgment in a
safe place until your hearing. You will need to take the Judgment with
you to the hearing so you can ask to give it to the judge then.
