<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I have a client facing an eviction (which is probably bunk). He has received the summons and complaint, identifying a response deadline of July 5. However, the complaint was not served properly and has not been
filed.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Can we just ignore it and force the Landlord to do things by the book? I have phoned opposing counsel and no response.
<br>
<br>
I am contemplating responding to opposing counsel with a letter (but no formal answer to keep costs down) along the lines of "L's eviction of my client T is obviously retaliatory, my client is already looking for a new place to live, so save your client and
mine the trouble since you're going to lose anyway."<o:p></o:p></p>
