When a Tenant's Assertion and Complaint is filed, the court holds the money until the issue is resolved. Which form does this describe?

• A. Tenant's Assertion and Complaint (DC-429).
• B. Distress Warrant (DC-424).
• C. Protective Order (DC-650).
• D. Writ of Possession (DC-501).

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that when a tenant files an assertion and complaint, the court can place funds in escrow to protect both sides while the dispute is resolved. This is done through the Tenant's Assertion and Complaint form (DC-429). It is specifically used to present the tenant’s claim and request that the court hold money (such as rent or a security deposit) until the issue is decided. This form is distinct from others: a Distress Warrant (DC-424) is for the landlord to seize goods for unpaid rent, a Protective Order (DC-650) safeguards a person or property, and a Writ of Possession (DC-501) orders eviction or removal to regain possession.
