The Superior Court of California - County of Ventura - Small Claims
This means you have asked the defendant to pay and the defendant has refused.
The forms to file a small claims case can be located on the court website under Online Forms by selecting the Judicial Council hyperlink. If you do not have 
 access to a computer, you may either come directly to the clerk’s office to fill out the appropriate paperwork or have the paperwork mailed to you by sending in 
 your request along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Small Claims forms cannot be filed by fax.
If you want to file a small claim and you are a business or corporation that operates or does business under a fictitious name (“doing business as” or “dba”) 
 you must complete Judicial Council form SC-103, Fictitious Business Name form and file 
 it with you claim form. If you do not file this form, the court will dismiss your claim at the time of the hearing.
If the claim you are filing is to enforce the payment of a debt, you must provide a written calculation showing how you calculated the amount owed that 
 must include the original debt amount, each payment credited to the debt, each fee and charge added to the debt, each payment credited against those fees 
 and charges, all other debits or charges to the account and an explanation of the nature of those fees, charges, debits, and all other credits to the 
 debt, by source and amount. This is required by law and your claim cannot be filed without this information.

Types of Service

The defendant must be served with a copy of the claim 15 days prior to the hearing date if they live in county and 20 days prior to the hearing if they 
 live out of county.
The types of service are:
Certified mail. Service by certified mail must be done by the clerk's office. The fee is $15.00 per defendant. You cannot serve the defendant yourself. 
 Certified mail is the least effective form of service and the green return receipt must be signed by the defendant personally or the court will delay your 
 hearing and ask you to attempt another form of service. You will need to check with the court prior to the hearing to see if the receipt for certified mail 
 was returned to the court.

Summons-Unlawful Detainer-Eviction (form SUM-130) | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Why am I being evicted?
 You should have already received a written Notice from your landlord that tells you why they want to evict you and how long you have to move out. 
The reason they are evicting you and the type of Notice you received should also be explained in the Complaint. You'll either get a form titled Complaint – Unlawful Detainer (form UD-100) or typed up in a specific legal format where each line is numbered (called pleading paper).

If you didn't receive a Notice, your deadline to respond to the Summons and Complaint is the same. But you may be able to use the fact that you didn't receive a Notice as a legal reason you shouldn't be evicted (a defense). 
 

Who is being evicted?
 You and any other tenants who are being evicted will be named in the Complaint as the defendant(s).
What if people who live at the property aren't named in the court documents? 
If there are tenants living in your home who are not on the lease and/or who are not named in the Summons and Complaint they have some options for how to respond. See additional information for non-named tenants.

Is my landlord asking for money?
 The Complaint lists what the plaintiff (your landlord) wants the judge to order you to do. You will see possession of the premises listed on the form or mentioned (if on pleading paper). This means they want you to move out. The Complaint may also describe damages, costs, or fees if they want you to pay money. 
Who is the Plaintiff? 
The person or company filing the eviction lawsuit will be named on the forms as the plaintiff. This is generally the rental property owner. If you don't recognize the name, it could be that a company or person you haven't worked with before owns or manages the place where you live.

Explore your options for what to do next

Do nothing
The judge will decide the case without your input and your landlord will probably be able to evict you.

 How do I file my brief with the Court of Appeal? There are two ways to file documents with a court: electronically file (e-file) on the computer or file on paper at the court.
The Court of Appeal requires lawyers and people who have a lawyer to file electronically. If you are self-represented – meaning you do not have a lawyer – then you can choose to file electronically or file on paper.
If filing electronically, the Court of Appeal does not need or require paper copies.
If filing on paper in the Court of Appeal, the original document and proof of service forms are always given to the Court of Appeal. Some courts also require you to file extra copies of the documents.
You should always keep one copy of all documents you file with the court. It’s a good idea to bring or mail an extra copy of the document to the court clerk. You can ask the clerk to stamp “filed” on the extra copy to show that the original was filed, and keep the extra copy as proof.
 
 What happens if a party files a cross-appeal? If one of the parties files a cross-appeal, then the briefing contents and briefing schedule are different.
In the event of a cross-appeal, the opposing parties must try to agree on a briefing schedule. The parties must either submit a joint briefing schedule or submit separate briefing schedules for the court to consider and make a final decision.
See CRC 8.216 to learn about the procedures for submitting a briefing schedule in a cross-appeal.
