termination of the rental agreement by going to the court hearing to respond and tell
your side of the story. If you do not go to the court hearing, the court may enter a
judgment against you and issue a court order evicting you from your home.
Even if you correct the noncompliance, if a second material noncompliance with the
rental agreement occurs within six (6) months of the first noncompliance, the owner may
terminate the rental agreement and file in court to evict you.
