What is an Unlawful Detainer lawsuit?
An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a suit brought by a landlord to obtain possession of rented property and receive payment of back rent.  In order to legally evict a tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit. 

On the status of the Trumpets lawsuit, complaint for back rent, and eviction lawsuit

The below is reprinted from Mike Dixon's Report, dated 13 July  President's Report

"On the management side, there was a lot of activity on the Trumpets lawsuit. As you might remember, on May 24, our attorney filed a motion to dismiss several parts of S&D’s complaint. On July 10, S&D’s attorney responded to our motion to dismiss, and our attorney answered the same day. As was first noted in the May 26 Board Meeting by Vice President Bob Berman, we have been in negotiations with S&D, through our attorneys, whereby they would leave our premises amicably while the court case continued. When these negotiations broke down and were terminated without an agreement two weeks ago, the board decided to pursue eviction proceedings against S&D. The unlawful detainer action to accomplish this was filed with the court this afternoon. Some of you might question why this eviction motion wasn’t filed sooner. As with many things in life, timing is everything in litigation. The Board felt it best to try to recover control of Trumpets through negotiations. When that failed, we immediately agreed to go to court to regain control of our premises."

"The first hearing on S&D’s suit against SCA will be Tuesday, July 17 at 9:00 in Department 11 of the District court. The first hearing on our eviction proceedings is scheduled for August 20 at 9:30 a.m. in Department 12. All the legal documents are public, and can be retrieved from our website, including the motion filed today. I will keep you posted following the scheduled hearings."
