body
Summary
Summary
Assembly Bills 246 (Stats. 2025, ch. 337), 747 (Stats. 2025, ch. 563), and 863 (Stats. 2025, ch. 344) make changes to laws regarding summons, complaints, and defenses in unlawful detainer proceedings. The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends revising four forms to implement these changes in law, correct misstatements of law, remove inapplicable items, and improve readability and clarity. The committee also recommends significant plain-language revisions to Unlawful Detainer--Complaint (form UD-100) and the conversion of Unlawful Detainer--Answer (form UD-105) to a plain-language form.
