MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITES
I. INTRODUCTION
________________[Insert Plaintiff Name(s)], (Plaintiff(s)) complaint is improper a
not filed in conformity with the law as it is not verified by Plaintiff(s). Indeed, Plaintiff(s)fiits Verified Complaint for Unlawful Detainer on ________________ [Insert Date]. T
Complaint, however, is not properly verified. Plaintiff(s) attorney, ________________[Ins
Verifying Attorney Name] improperly attempted to verify the Complaint to circumvent
requirement that unlawful detainer complaints be verified. ________________ ([Ins
Verifying Attorney Last Name]) verified the Complaint on the suspect grounds t
Plaintiff(s)is absent from the county and unable to verify the Complaint this not credib
Attorney verifications are only permitted where the clients absence from the county makes
impractical or impossible to obtain the clients signature. Plaintiff(s)surely is not abs
from ________________ [Insert County Name] nor could its purported absence from
county make it impractical or impossible to obtain its signature. This is simply a way
Plaintiff(s) counsel to cut corners. Plaintiff(s) could have easily verified the Complaint
facsimile, email or mail, and as such, it was not impractical or impossibleto obtain a memb
of Plaintiff(s)signature. The attorney verification is not permitted and the Complaint
therefore not verified as required. The Complaint must be stricken and the action dismis
without prejudice.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS
This is an action for unlawful detainer based on a Notice for Possession (Notice)
copy of which is attached to the Complaint as Exhibit ________________ [Insert Exhi
number if applicable]. The Notice is in connection to property located at and common
known as ________________ ___________________________ [Insert your rental prope
address] (the Property).
On or about ________________ [Insert Date of Service of Notice of Possessio
Plaintiff(s) (again through its legal counsel) served Defendants with the Notice and th
subsequently filed its Verified Complaint for Unlawful Detainer on ______________
[Insert Date of Filing]. However, the Complaint is not properly verified as stated in

The verification fails to state any reason why Plaintiff(s) purported absence from

as you can by inserting facts about plaintiff that suggests they would be available to verify t
complaint, think about your interactions with plaintiff, look on their website regardi
accessibility, gather email address, any information you have about their availability will
against the validity of the attorney verification]
Despite its accessibility, Plaintiff(s) failed to verify the Complaint and the Compla
only contains an improper verification from ________________[Insert Verifying Attorney L
Name].
III. DISCUSSION
A. The Complaint Must Be Stricken Because the Complaint for UnlawDetainer is Not Verified as Required
Code of Civil Procedure section 436 provides that the court may strike out any improp
matter inserted in a pleading or any part of any pleading not drawn or filed in conformity w
the laws of this state. In limited civil cases for unlawful detainer, the plaintiff is required
plead facts in a verified complaint, otherwise the action is subject to dismissal witho
prejudice. C.C.P. 396a(a). The only time the plaintiffs attorney may verify the complain
when the plaintiff is absent from the county where the attorney has his or her office or
otherwise unable to verify, or the facts are within the personal knowledge of the attorn
verifying the complaint. C.C.P. 446;League of Women Voters v. Eu (1992) 7 Cal. App.
