Re: Breach of Contract/ Small Claims Court - Landlord Forum thread 361043

Re: Breach of Contract/ Small Claims Court by Jason on January 11, 2021 @06:31

                              
In my experience, when I have taken tenants to court, the DJ typically asks me about the amount that I am requesting. This gives me the opportunity to increase the late fees, filing fees, other fees, etc. I typically hand the DJ and tenant an updated request for fees, as well as a brief explanation of how those are calculated. This is mainly only used for myself so that I can quickly look at the amounts and be able to answer WHY or HOW.

For example, if I file a PAY OR QUIT and I am only asking for $80 in late fees, that amount increases daily. So unless you know exactly when your hearing is going to be scheduled, this is to be expected.

Be aware that in CA if you ask for late fees in a UD it will usually be dismissed... i still dont understand why....
