[RPPTL LandTen] Requirement for 3-day Notice

Scott:
Unfortunately I am reading my e-mail. What ever happened to the 4 day work
week after 60? 

According to Summary Procedure, Chapter 51 and the supporting case law,
motion practice is NOT allowed. You must file an Answer, Affirmative
Defenses, AND a Motion to Dismiss AND Motion to Determine rent (ALL
RESPONSIVE PLEADIGS) Motion to Determine Rent must either allege PAYMENT or
you must document, by exhibits of the amount paid and post the undisputed
amount of $$ into the registry of the Court. The client must pay the rent
into the registry of the Court as it comes due. (September is now due) or a
motion for default for failure to post the rent will result in a default
Final Judgment. 
I have filed affirmative defenses as a motion to dismiss but I hate to
confuse judges and educate them. So I do not do them anymore.  I do put
"based on the above affirmative defenses this case should be dismissed for
failure to state a cause of action, award costs and attorney fees and any
other relief the courts deem necessary and just."
