Q: Unlawful Detainer today by my sister, the complainant. She did not include any reason for evicting me.I'm Disabled.
The complaint needs to be answered within 5 days, making it next Thursday the 1st of June...I understand I need to SERVE her with the answer BEFORE i file it, that seems odd to me.
A: You don't have to serve the answer before you file it. You can file your answer and postmark the proof of service of the answer the same date (but you can't sign the proof of service, it has to be someone else you unrelated to, such as a paralegal service). And there are legal aid clinics who assist the disabled with matters such as yours.
