Choose safely
The form numbers are not interchangeable. For example, Form D is a landlord’s unpaid-rent notice; Form K is a narrow no-hearing application; Form J is a broader dispute application; Forms R and S concern opposing sides of a security-deposit dispute.
Some processes require service proof using Form L or L1 and have deadlines beyond the form itself. Confirm the official process before relying on a form number or sending an application.
