The Empire Strikes Back

How dare you!

I couldn't resist the Star Wars analogy, because that's how it feels: you dare challenge the power, money and majesty of your landLORD and all the corrupt powers of the Court behind him? Yep. You mean their scare tactics and sneaky tricks aren't going to bully you out, without a fight? Sorry, no. Are you really going to take this all the way, running up the stakes, just to be difficult? No, actually to win. In real terms.

The landlord's lawyer has promised to make quick work of you, and now you're about to make him look bad. The landlord whose arrogance has blinded him to his own wrongfulness is aghast at your audacity to defy him, and indignant to your "dilatory tactics" postponing the "inevitable." Think I'm kidding? They really think like that. Actually, popping those inflated egos and brutalizing those bullies with your legal tactics is what makes this experience fun.

Depending on what papers you have filed, the landlord will probably file a response to it, so that these subcategories are arranged accordingly. You may back to this section again and again as the case progresses.
