Common confusion points
Confusing 'Application' with 'Notice': The application is asking the Judge; the notice informs the other party.
Not knowing which court to file in: This depends on the location of the property, not necessarily where you live.
Thinking it's automatic: Filing this form does not mean possession happens instantly; a hearing must occur.
Who needs to sign? Ensure both parties (if applicable) are correctly identified for service.
