Existing law requires a defendant, in a summary proceeding for obtaining possession of real property, to file a response within five days, excluding specified days, after the complaint is served on the defendant. Existing law permits a defendant in such a proceeding to, on or before the day fixed for their appearance, appear and answer or demur. This bill would extend the time in which a defendant, in a summary proceeding for obtaining possession of real property, must file a response from 5 to 10 days, excluding specified days, after the complaint is served on the defendant. The bill would specify additional procedures and deadlines for filing a demurrer or a motion to strike a complaint as well as an opposition to and reply in support of such a motion.
