Q) One of my tenants did not pay rent or move out after I served them a 3-day notice so I began eviction. The tenant's attorney put in a demand for a jury trial. Is this legal and what are my options?
A) It is legal to demand a jury trial for an eviction case. Most likely the attorney is hoping that they will win and that you will have to pay for the attorney costs. Check your rental agreement to see if any attorney fees are limited to $500.00. If so, that could eliminate the financial incentive out of a jury trial request.
