Seals of the Court of Appeals and Superior Court
District of Columbia Courts

You should bring a copy of the Notice to Correct and/or Vacate in English and Spanish, for cases brought against tenants for any reason, except non-payment of rent cases and drug haven cases. (A landlord may be required to give a tenant a notice to quit prior to filing a non-payment of rent case, but you are not required to bring it to court to file the lawsuit. If you are not sure whether you are required to serve a notice to quit, you should seek legal advice or information from a private attorney or the Landlord and Tenant Resource Center.) The Landlord and Tenant Clerk's Office supplies the complaint form, which is filled out once you arrive at the courthouse.
