Determine the correct route
Separate changes to claims from changes to parties or address. Landlord/tenant amendment forms and RTB-42O have different functions; joining related files requires approval.
Forms and documents to consider
Before applying, responding or serving
- Check jurisdiction and the precise document version, number and legal purpose.
- Write down what happened and when. Keep your rental agreement, notices, payment records and messages.
- Check the official notice and RTB instructions for how to deliver it, when it counts as received, and the deadline.
- Do not assume a form makes you eligible for the remedy or that an application automatically stays another order.
Critical distinction
Amending or requesting joinder does not automatically change a hearing date or waive service and evidence rules.
