In the eviction process due to non-payment of rent, particularly as related to COVID-19 rental debt, the UD-125 form becomes necessary when a tenant is facing an unlawful detainer action from their landlord. This situation arises after the landlord has filed an Unlawful Detainer Complaint, initiating the eviction process due to unpaid rent. Unlike an Answer form (UD-105), which a tenant uses to officially respond to the Complaint, the UD-125 specifically addresses situations where the tenant has been approved for rental assistance under government programs related to COVID-19 relief.
- **Trigger Action**: Receipt of an Unlawful Detainer Complaint for unpaid rent during the COVID-19 period.
- **Preceding Form**: Filing or receipt of an Answer to the Complaint (UD-105), if applicable, within five days of receiving the eviction notice.
- **Government Approval**: Confirmation or approval of COVID-19 related rental assistance which covers some or all of the rental debt.
The form is crucial after a tenant has received approval for rental assistance, in order to halt the termination of the lease agreement. Filing UD-125 allows the defendant to formally request that the court prevent eviction while demonstrating compliance with rental relief initiatives. The application must be supported by documentation from the rental assistance program indicating the approval and extent of financial coverage.
- **1. Obtain the Form**: Download the UD-125 form from the California Courts website or pick it up from the local courthouse.
- **2. Complete the Form**: Fill out the form accurately with needed details and the relevant case information, and provide a copy of the rental assistance approval if available.
- **3. File with the Court**: Submit the completed form to the superior court handling the unlawful detainer case.
- **4. Serve the Plaintiff**: Once filed, ensure a copy of the form is properly served to the plaintiff or their legal representative, following the court's rules on service of documents.
- **5. Await Response**: The court will review the application. Be prepared to attend any scheduled hearings or provide further documentation if requested.
Defendant's Responsibility
Make sure you, as the defendant, are the one filling out this form. It's specifically designed for defendants in an unlawful detainer case seeking to stop eviction due to COVID-19 rental debt. If you are not the defendant, consult with the actual defendant to complete the form correctly.
Time Period Selection
Only check the boxes in 2(a) that correspond to the time period during which your rent was due and has not been paid. It’s crucial to accurately select the correct rental periods covered by your government assistance for the court to assess your situation properly.
Missing Approval Documents
If you do not have a physical copy of the approval from the government rental assistance program, make sure to accurately provide the property address, application number, and, if known, the name of the program. This information is vital for the court to verify your claim and determine the applicability of rental assistance.
