Question

I've been served papers from a crazy landlord. He is suing for over $25,000 which is ridiculous. I have supporting documentation to prove he's nuts.

How long do I have to reply to the papers that were served? The date said August 4th, 2014. I just received them two weeks ago.

He also sent a slandering letter to my CEO in New Zealand. This guy is crazy and i need to know my options. Can you help?

Answer

You need a lawyer and need one IMMEDIATELY (not soon - now). Start calling landlord-tenant lawyers in your area.

Answer

It depends. It could be seven (7) days or thirty (30) days depending on what the landlord is suing for. Have a local attorney review and advise.
