Court Apperance

A court appearance is a formal legal proceeding in which a Court Agent or Property Manager presents themselves before a judge in a Rent court case regarding the owner's behavior.

Court Appearances in Landlord-Tenant Court

In Landlord-Tenant court, a property owner can be represented by a Court Agent or Property Manager.   This is often the case when a tenant owes outstanding rent or has violated the terms of the lease. During the court appearance, the judge will hear both sides of the dispute and make a decision.

Key Points to Remember:

• Importance of Timely Appearance:

  It is crucial to appear in court on the scheduled date and time. Failure to do so may result in negative consequences, such as a default judgment against you.

• Legal Representation:

  While it's possible to represent yourself in court, having a court agent or attorney familiar with the process can significantly improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
