Why can’t my case be dismissed after the hearing?
At times we receive a request to dismiss after the eviction hearing. At this point we cannot dismiss the case because we already have a judgment.  A dismissal occurs prior to the hearing.  After a hearing we can file a motion to set aside the judgment, but there is an additional fee for this motion.  We can also file a satisfaction of judgment after a court hearing if a tenant pays what they owe.  There is no charge to have our office file a satisfaction of judgment.
