Re: Should I give my new address to previous tenant? by Daniel (CA) on July 2, 2019 @20:13

do you have proof of your new address- did you fill out a USPS change of address when you moved?

I am not a lawyer, I'm just wondering what I would do.

review the judgment and see who sued you , daughter or mother or both?

next call the clerk and ask what you can do to vacate the judgment since you were not served and you have proof that you were not at that address or even out of state.

also send the court and clerk a letter confirming that the judgment has been vacated since you got no notice of the lawsuit.

you may be able to file a motion in the case to vacate it due to lack of service. but if you are not in the area then hiring an attorney may be necessary.

Thank you very much for your response. I totally agree with you, I have filed a motion for reconsideration or dismiss because I was not served. I told the judge if the tenant could win the case, she could file any lawsuit against anybody and win the case by default judgement, by using an invalid address for the defendant. I do have proof for my address change. Her mother filed the lawsuit using her daughter's name.
