Default Judgment Adjournment Request

Summary

A default judgment was entered for nonpayment of rent, but a motion to set aside was granted due to the property not being registered as a rental. A hearing is scheduled, but due to medical recovery and a new job, attending is difficult. Filing a motion to adjourn the hearing is advisable, citing medical reasons and employment constraints. Consider providing supporting documents like a doctors note and employment verification.

Request for Virtual Appearance
