A:
To file a civil lawsuit in California for the issues you mentioned, you will need to fill out and file several court forms. The specific forms may vary depending on the county where you are filing the lawsuit and the specific claims you are making. However, here are some common forms you may need:
1. Complaint (Form PLD-C-001): This form is used to initiate the lawsuit and outline your claims against the defendant(s).
2. Summons (Form SUM-100): This form is used to notify the defendant(s) that they are being sued and provide them with a copy of the complaint.
3. Civil Case Cover Sheet (Form CM-010): This form provides an overview of your case to the court.
4. Proof of Service (Form POS-010): This form is used to demonstrate that the defendant(s) have been properly served with the complaint and summons.
5. Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs (Form FW-001) and Order on Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs (Form FW-003): If you cannot afford the court filing fees, you can request a fee waiver using these forms.
6. Additional forms may be needed depending on the specifics of your case, such as:
- Cause of Action—Breach of Contract (Form PLD-C-001(1))
- Cause of Action—Fraud (Form PLD-C-001(2))
- Cause of Action—Negligence (Form PLD-C-001(4))
It is highly recommended that you consult with an attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law and civil litigation to help you prepare and file your lawsuit. They can provide guidance on the specific forms needed for your case and ensure that your complaint is properly drafted and filed.
You can find these forms on the California Courts website (www.courts.ca.gov) or at your local courthouse. Remember to make copies of all documents for your records and for serving the defendant(s).
