What is pre-trial settlement for eviction bad tenant?

Yuni Park

Hello

My property is located in livermore, CA.

I need to go to court alameda county, CA.

Bad tenant gave me bounced check security deposit and prorated rent on March. Until now she did not pay anything.

I hired the lawyer to file eviction.

Bad tenant filed answers by eviction defense lawyer; so my lawyer requested to trial.

Our Lawyer office sent email two different date.

One of them is pre-trial settlement conference and other master jury trial date.

Can you tell me what is pre-trial settlements and how to prepare?

Also, lawyer office sent email about tenant filed answers ; when i read her filed answers, all of them lies.

I never went to property since I rented out to her; her answer I went to property without 24 hours notice.

other stuffs, blah blah..all of them lies.

I was very shocked and don't understand why such eviction defense lawyer helped her to file fake answers. What kind of job they do?

Bad tenant like her, should not protect it by law; provided fake income, fake bank statements and fake credit score..

Bad tenant has money to drive BMW, fill out gas and buy grocery ; not pay for rent?

What's the point to have leasing agreement if someone does not pay rent and live for free?

Please, share your eviction pre-trial and jury trial experience.

Thank you.

You’re asked no for a lot of info here - May be best to ask your lawyer these questions, that’s why you’re paying him.
