Yes! You can use AI to fill out Form UD-110, Judgment—Unlawful Detainer

Users often enter the Case Number, Plaintiff, or Defendant names incorrectly, or provide information that is inconsistent between page 1 and page 2. This typically happens due to typographical errors or by not referencing the original complaint. Such mistakes can lead to the court clerk rejecting the filing or the judgment being misfiled, causing significant delays in the legal process. To avoid this, meticulously double-check that all names and numbers match the official court record on all pages of the form. AI-powered tools like Instafill.ai can prevent this by auto-populating recurring information consistently across the entire document.

A frequent error is checking mutually exclusive boxes under the 'JUDGMENT' heading, such as selecting both 'By Default' and 'After Court Trial'. This indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the case's procedural posture and creates a logical contradiction that makes the form invalid. The court cannot process a judgment with conflicting bases, leading to immediate rejection and requiring the filer to resubmit a corrected form. Carefully select only the one option that accurately reflects how the judgment was reached.

Filers often provide an incomplete address for the premises in Section 4, omitting crucial details like the apartment or unit number, or even the county. This happens when rushing and assuming a street address is sufficient. An incomplete address can render the judgment unenforceable, as the Sheriff's department may be unable to identify the correct property to execute the writ of possession for the eviction. Always provide the full, specific address as it appears on the lease and other court documents.

In Section 6a, filers frequently make mathematical errors when calculating the 'TOTAL JUDGMENT' or enter amounts in the wrong sub-fields (e.g., putting costs under attorney fees). These data entry mistakes can result in an incorrect judgment amount, which may be challenged or require a separate motion to correct. To prevent this, carefully itemize each amount and double-check the final sum before submission. Using a tool with calculation capabilities can help ensure accuracy.

A critical mistake is entering monetary values in both Section 6a (for the plaintiff) and Section 6b (for the defendant). This creates a nonsensical judgment where the court is asked to award money to both opposing parties. This error guarantees the form's rejection. It is essential to understand that only one of these sections should be completed, depending on which party won the case.

When filing for a default judgment in Section 1, people often confuse a 'Clerk's Judgment' (1d) with a 'Court Judgment' (1e). A Clerk's Judgment is typically for possession only, while a Court Judgment is required when monetary damages are also being awarded. Selecting the wrong type can lead to rejection or an incomplete judgment that doesn't include the requested financial award. Understanding the difference based on the relief sought is crucial for proper filing.

Filers may check the box for a 'Conditional judgment' (Section 7) or 'Judgment for partial eviction' (Section 8) without attaching the required forms (UD-110H or UD-110P, respectively). This oversight occurs when the filer is unaware that these specific judgments require a separate, detailed attachment. Submitting the form without the necessary addenda will result in an incomplete filing that the court will reject, delaying the final resolution. Always ensure any checked box referencing an attachment is accompanied by that document.

It is common for filers, especially those representing themselves, to leave the header section at the top of page 1 incomplete, omitting their phone number, email address, or full mailing address. This oversight can severely hamper communication, as the court clerk will have no way to contact the filer regarding issues with the form or to provide updates. Always fill out this section completely to ensure you can be reached. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, a tool like Instafill.ai can convert it into an interactive version, making it easier to fill every required field.

In Section 2b, for judgments after a court trial, filers may forget to list all parties or attorneys who appeared, or they may misspell names. This creates an inaccurate record of the court proceedings. The judgment should precisely reflect who was present at the trial. To avoid this, refer to the court's minute order or your own notes from the trial date to ensure every name is listed correctly.
