Tips for filling out form UD-110H

When completing form UD-110H, pay special attention to these less obvious sections:

Item 7a

Defect Details

When specifying defects, detail each issue separately and clearly allocate the impact on rental value. This helps avoid disputes about the amount by showing clear reasoning for rent reduction.
Item 7b

Legal Fees

Clearly itemize and provide proof for attorney fees and costs. This ensures that reductions in total rent due are accurately assessed against any legal expenses you claim.
Item 7c

Payment Terms

Ensure the payment date and time are practical, allowing sufficient time to process the payment on the due date. This avoids unnecessary disputes about late payments.
Item 7e

Prevailing Party

Understand the implications of being the prevailing party—it affects who is responsible for attorney fees and court costs, as well as lease terms.
Item 7f

Declaration Filing

Prepare a timely declaration with proof of service if payment is not received. This documentation is critical to avoid delays in court judgment.
Item 7g

Possession Award

If awarded possession of the premises, immediately understand your rights pertaining to the eviction process and how to enforce such rights within legal constraints.

What to do after filing form UD-110H

1
Verify that a court date has been set for further proceedings if required, such as a hearing on repairs or compliance.
2
Await communication from the court or the opposing party regarding any scheduled hearing dates or deadlines for compliance.
3
If you are the defendant, ensure you have paid the reduced rent and any attorney fees and costs by the deadline specified in item 7c.
4
The defendant should file a declaration under penalty of perjury (MC-030) with proof of service to the plaintiff once the conditions in item 7c have been met.
5
If you are the plaintiff and the defendant has not complied, prepare to file a declaration under penalty of perjury (MC-030), with proof of service to the defendant, stating the amount in item 7c has not been paid.
