Este taller cubre:

Todos los demás inquilinos tendrán que presentar los documentos que crea el Toolkit en persona, en el juzgado que figura en su citación y demanda.

Mistakes happen in the course of a civil lawsuit. For example, a defendant may fail to respond to a lawsuit within the required time, resulting in a “default,” which terminates the rights of the defendant to dispute the allegations. Or, a plaintiff may fail to respond to a defense motion, resulting in dismissal of the lawsuit. In this class, learn how to get back on track by asking a judge to “set aside” (vacate or undo) defaults and other mistakes in California state courts.
Class covers:
- California Code of Civil Procedure § 473: what it is, and why you need it
- When and how a party may seek relief from his or her mistakes
- What constitutes “default” and “dismissal,” and what may be “set aside”
- Preparing a motion to vacate default
Class approved for Court Interpreter Minimum Continuing Education (CIMCE) credit.

Join a live question and answer session about tenants’ and landlords’ rights and responsibilities. An experienced landlord-tenant attorney will be available to answer questions about eviction protections for nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19, what landlords can and cannot do during (and after) the pandemic, the new process for collecting past-due rent through small claims court, what the outlook might be for renters now that the statewide eviction moratorium has expired and updated eviction protections for tenants in the City of Los Angeles and other parts of Los Angeles County. Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, you are welcome to attend and get the vital information you need.
Although you can listen to the class from various kinds of devices, you will need video to view the speaker(s) and any presentation materials, and will need to connect through Zoom to be able to participate in the written Q&A or chat features.
