                        I have been served with a summons for a Dispossessory action, what do I do?

Upon service of a summons of a Dispossessory action, the Tenant has seven days to file an answer in the Magistrate Court Clerk's office. You can drive to the Courthouse or respond online through this Website if the property is in a listed County. Simply go to the Home page, and click Answer to Claim under Online Filing Forms.

Failure to file the answer within seven days of service of the summons may result in a writ of possession being issued against the Tenant.
