Perfecting An Appeal
To Perfect An Appeal, The Tenant Must:
Pay Court Costs:
Tenants must pay the court fees to file the appeal. If unable to pay, they may file a "Pauper’s Oath" affidavit, stating they lack the funds.
Plaintiff Option:
The landlord can challenge this affidavit, leading to a trial to determine the tenant’s ability to pay.
Recommendation:
Challenging the affidavit is not advised, as it delays the process, allows tenants to remain in the property longer, and does not affect the landlord’s outcome regarding payment to the court.
Deposit One Month’s Rent:
Tenants must deposit one month’s rent into the court registry.
