An District Court Eviction Appeal is a request by the Tenant to the District Court (higher court) in which the Tenant asks the higher court to cancel the eviction due to an error on the Justice Court (lower court) decision. No new evidence can be introduced/added to your case. Tenant only has twenty (20) calendar days from the Justice Court Order to file an appeal to District Court (JCRCP 72B(a).). Tenant must also post a $250 bond with the Court Clerk (JCRCP 73.). The $250 cost bond can NOT be waived with a fee waiver application.

Try not to get scared, just because a Tenant files a District Court Eviction Appeal does not mean the eviction stops. This is a two way appeal process. Landlords can also file if they do not like the Justice Court decision. It is not just for Tenants or Landlords. |
