What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

The UD-155, Eviction Case (Unlawful Detainer) Stipulation, is a legal document for parties in a California eviction lawsuit to create a binding agreement outside of a trial. This form allows a landlord (plaintiff) and tenant (defendant) to define terms for resolving the case, such as payment schedules, move-out dates, or conditions for remaining in the property, which then becomes a court order. Today, this form can be filled out quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

14 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Stipulation Type Selection

This check ensures that exactly one option is selected in Item 4, either 'Stipulation and Order' (4a) or 'Stipulated Judgment' (4b). These options are mutually exclusive and define the fundamental nature of the agreement. If neither or both are selected, the form is ambiguous and cannot be processed by the court, leading to rejection.

Conditional Judgment Sub-Option Requirement

This validation checks that if 'Stipulation and Order' (4a) is selected, then one of its sub-options ('without Conditional Judgment' or 'with Conditional Judgment') must also be selected. This is a required clarification for how the stipulation will be handled if terms are violated. Failure to select a sub-option leaves the enforcement mechanism undefined and will halt processing.

Plaintiff and Defendant Name Requirement

Verifies that the name fields for both the plaintiff (Item 1a) and the defendant (Item 2a) are not empty. These fields are essential for identifying the legal parties involved in the stipulation. A submission without the names of the primary parties is legally insufficient and will be rejected for being incomplete.

Property Address Completeness

Ensures that the full address of the property in dispute (Address, City, State, Zip in Item 3) is completely filled out. This information is critical as it legally identifies the subject of the unlawful detainer action. An incomplete or missing property address would make any court order unenforceable and legally void.

Payment Amount Calculation in Item 6a

If Item 6a is checked, this validation confirms that the 'Total' amount is the correct sum of the 'Past Due Rent', 'Damages', 'Attorney Fees', and 'Court Costs' fields. This is crucial for ensuring the financial terms of the agreement are clear and arithmetically sound. A mismatch could lead to disputes over the amount owed and may invalidate the financial portion of the stipulation.

Payment Plan Detail Requirement

This check confirms that if the 'To follow a payment plan' box (Item 6b) is checked, at least one payment entry (Amount Due and Due Date) is provided in the corresponding schedule. An agreement for a payment plan is meaningless without the specific terms. If this validation fails, the form will be considered incomplete as the core details of the plan are missing.

Common Mistakes in Completing UD-155

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Misunderstanding the 'Type of Stipulation' (Item 4)
Parties, especially unrepresented tenants, often confuse a 'Stipulation and Order' with a 'Stipulated Judgment.' Selecting 'Stipulated Judgment' (4b) results in an immediate, final judgment against the defendant, which can appear on their record like a trial loss and allow for immediate lockout. This mistake happens due to the legal complexity and can lead to unintended, severe consequences. To avoid this, parties must carefully read the descriptions and understand that a 'Stipulation and Order' (4a) keeps the case open while the agreement is performed, which is often the intended path.
Forgetting to Request Sealing of the Court Record (Item 10k)
Tenants often overlook the option to request that the court 'bar access to the court record.' This is a critical mistake because an unsealed eviction filing can be found by tenant screening companies, making it difficult to find future housing, even if the case was settled amicably. To avoid this long-term negative impact, parties should almost always check box 10k to request the record be sealed as part of their agreement.
Incomplete or Incorrect Party Information (Items 1 & 2)
Fillers frequently forget to list all plaintiffs (e.g., all owners) or all defendants (e.g., all adult occupants), or fail to check the box for an attachment if more space is needed. This oversight can make the stipulation unenforceable against the unlisted individuals, leading to further legal complications. Always double-check that every person or legal entity involved is correctly named and that form MC-025 is attached if there are additional parties.
Ambiguous Payment Plan Details (Item 6b)
When creating a payment plan, parties often leave amounts, due dates, or payment delivery instructions blank or vague. This ambiguity makes it difficult to determine if a breach has occurred, rendering the agreement hard to enforce and leading to future court hearings. To prevent this, every payment amount must have a specific due date, and the fields for payment method and delivery must be filled out completely and clearly.
Calculation Errors in Total Amount Due (Item 6a)
Parties may incorrectly add the 'Past Due Rent,' 'Damages,' 'Attorney Fees,' and 'Court Costs' to arrive at the 'Total.' This simple math error can lead to disputes later about the correct amount owed or whether the agreement has been fulfilled. To avoid this, carefully calculate the total sum and double-check the math before signing. AI-powered form filling tools like Instafill.ai can perform these calculations automatically to ensure accuracy.
Omitting the Property's Apartment or Unit Number (Item 3)
It is very common for filers to list the street address of the property but forget to include the specific apartment or unit number. This oversight can create legal ambiguity, especially in a multi-unit building, as it doesn't precisely identify the premises subject to the stipulation. This could delay enforcement or create grounds for a legal challenge. Always include the full, complete address, including any apartment, unit, or suite number.
Contradictory Checkbox Selections
Due to the form's complexity, people sometimes check boxes that contradict each other, such as agreeing the defendant will both stay (Item 5a) and move out (Item 5c). Such contradictions make the agreement nonsensical and unenforceable, requiring clarification from the court and causing significant delays. To prevent this, review all selections to ensure they form a single, logical agreement before signing.
Failing to Specify Non-Eviction Breaches (Item 8i)
Parties may agree verbally that minor issues won't trigger an eviction but then fail to document this in the form. If Item 8i is left blank, the plaintiff could potentially seek an eviction for any small violation of the agreement. To avoid this, parties must clearly list the item numbers (from sections 6 and 10) for any terms that they agree will not result in a request for an eviction if breached.
Neglecting the Security Deposit Terms (Item 10e)
Parties often skip over the security deposit section, assuming it will be handled 'as usual' after the tenant moves out. Failing to select one of the options in Item 10e leaves the disposition of the deposit ambiguous within the context of the court-ordered stipulation. This can lead to separate, future disputes over the deposit's return or application. To create a comprehensive settlement, parties should explicitly agree on how the deposit will be handled and check the corresponding box.
Missing Signatures or Dates (Page 6)
A stipulation is not valid until it is signed and dated by all parties or their attorneys. Forgetting a signature or the date is a simple but critical error that invalidates the entire agreement, making it nothing more than a draft. Before filing, meticulously check that every required signature line is signed and dated by the correct person. If the form is a non-fillable PDF, tools like Instafill.ai can convert it to a fillable version that supports digital signatures and automatic dating.

UD-155 has a Form Complexity Index of 55 out of 100, in the moderate tier: 189 fillable fields across 7 pages. Instafill.ai's AI fills it in under a minute, with every field there for you to review before you download.
What is the purpose of the Eviction Case Stipulation (UD-155) form?
This form is used by a landlord (plaintiff) and tenant (defendant) to create a legally binding agreement to settle an eviction case before it goes to trial, outlining the terms both parties have agreed to.
Is it mandatory to fill out this form in an eviction case?
No, using this form is completely voluntary. It is only for parties who mutually agree to resolve their case and want to avoid having a judge or jury decide the outcome.
What is the main difference between a 'Stipulation and Order' and a 'Stipulated Judgment' in Item 4?
A 'Stipulation and Order' makes your agreement a court order but doesn't enter a judgment, so the case remains open. A 'Stipulated Judgment' immediately ends the case with a formal judgment against the tenant, which can become public and impact their rental history.
What is a 'Conditional Judgment' as described in Item 11?
A Conditional Judgment is an agreement where an eviction judgment is pre-approved by the court. If the tenant fails to meet specific conditions (like making a payment), the landlord can get the judgment entered without a full trial.
What happens if the tenant doesn't follow the agreement?
If the tenant violates the stipulation, the landlord can file an 'ex parte application' to ask the court for a quick hearing and enforce the agreement, which may result in an immediate eviction and entry of judgment.
Can this agreement help keep the eviction off my public record?
Yes, in Item 10k, the parties can ask the court to 'bar access to the court record.' If the judge agrees, the case file becomes private and is not accessible to the public or most credit reporting agencies.
How does this form address the security deposit?
Item 10e provides options for the security deposit. You can agree to apply it to rent owed, have it returned to the tenant by a specific date, or have it handled according to California law within 21 days of moving out.
What happens after both parties sign the UD-155 form?
After it is signed by both parties, the form must be filed with the court clerk. A judge will then review the agreement and, if approved, sign it to make it an official and enforceable court order.
What should I do if the landlord doesn't fulfill their part of the agreement, like making repairs?
If the plaintiff (landlord) fails to comply with their agreed-upon terms, the defendant (tenant) can also file a request for a quick hearing to ask the court to enforce the stipulation, as described in Item 9.
Can I include a payment plan for past-due rent in this agreement?
Yes, Item 6b allows you to create a detailed payment plan, specifying the amount and due date for each payment the defendant agrees to make.
Can I use an AI tool to help me fill out this form?
Yes, services like Instafill.ai use AI to accurately auto-fill form fields with your information. This can help you complete the form faster and with fewer errors.
