If the tenant files and serves the landlord with an Answer, the landlord must file a Request to Set Case for Trial (form UD-150), at the clerk's office.
The landlord also has to serve the tenant by mail with a copy of the Request and have the server fill out the Proof of Service on the back of the Request.
In about a week, the court clerk will mail the landlord and the tenant information with the exact date, time and location of the trial. The trial will take place within 20 days.
If the tenant doesn't agree with the information in the landlord's Request, s/he may also file and serve the landlord with a Counter-Request. (form UD-150)
If the tenant responds with a Motion to Quash or a Demurrer, the landlord should talk to a lawyer because there are steps s/he needs to take to avoid delays, fix any problems, and continue with the case.
