Q: Is detainer warrant the summons to court?
Which one would be considered the detainer warrant the summons to court or the three days to vacate. The three days to vacate did not come until after the summons to court. at at no time prior to that did they communicate anything about back rent. We're on a month-to-month lease with them and the lease says we have to pay an automatic 1500 is we break lease which we did not do. We had only sign the lease on July 7th we got a summons to court on July 28th for 1500 in back rent. Funny how 1500 keeps popping up and the fact is we weren't 1500 behind that would date back to old ownership. And the old landlord gave us receipt plus called new owners and said we were never behind with him. The 3 days to vacate is only supposed to be given if we theaten or do harm to landlord or other tenants. We did not. As said it's a duplex and other than the names being changed from ours to neighbors they are evicting her under the exact same claims, same papers in same order we received on the same days.

A: The Detainer Warrant is a notice to quit. So go to Court. You might need a lawyer since apparently you are being sued for rent and other monies.
