If a landlord serves his or her tenant with a fourteen-day notice to quit on Thursday, October 25, 2018, the two-week notice period will expire on Thursday, November 8. The landlord can then serve his or her tenant with a summons and complaint on Friday, November 9. This summons and complaint must specify an entry date by which the landlord must file his or her case in court. Under these circumstances, the soonest available entry date would be Monday, November 19 (a Monday between seven and thirty days from the date that the tenant was served with the summons and complaint). By the Monday following the entry date -- Monday, November 26 -- the tenant must file his or her answer with the court. Also by Monday, November 26, either party may file a request for discovery.
