What if the landlord and tenant reach an agreement?

Sometimes, the tenant agrees to move out and just needs more time to find housing. Or the tenant is willing to make the changes the landlord asked for and the landlord is also willing to do what the tenant asks.

If the landlord hasn't filed an unlawful detainer yet, then both can write up the agreement clearly and make sure everyone understands what to do.

If the landlord has already filed a lawsuit, the landlord and tenant should write up an agreement, called a Stipulation, to file with the court.

You can write up your own agreement, or you can use the Stipulation for Entry of Judgment-Unlawful Detainer (form UD-115). This form tells the court the exact terms of the agreement.
