    ITT: people who don’t know what appeal means. The article gives an example at the end as to why this is a bad idea, but it doesn’t affect the actual eviction process.

      Oh it very well can when you get hit with default judgement due to not finding out about the court date and being half the country away in the new state you moved to…I know from personal experience you can be responsible, communicate and have everything above table and still get fucked.

        That’s basically the example from the article. So in order to appeal for improper service you would have to post one year of rent. If you show up to court and go through trial then you don’t have to.
