What happens if either the landlord or tenant fails to show up for the court date?
Failure of a landlord to show up for a court date will result in the case being dismissed. If a tenant does not show up for the court date a default judgment is issued by the court in favor of the landlord. If neither person shows up, the case is dismissed. By not signing in at Room 421 at 8:30 a.m./1:00 p.m. on the day of your hearing, you may give up your right to present your case to the court.
