How do I get ready for trial?

Get all the information related to your case. If possible bring your original documents, plus 3 copies of everything you bring to court. This may include papers, like:

• The lease or rental agreement
• The Notice served on the tenant
• Letters you wrote or received about the rental unit
• Photos that show damage to the unit, if applicable
• Photos that show unsafe or unhealthy conditions, if applicable
• Building inspection reports, if applicable

You may also bring witnesses who have personal knowledge of the facts. If a witness refuses to come to court, ask the clerk for help to subpoena the witness.
