Spring Creek Apartments Preservation v. Roper

Handwritten Opinion. In this holdover proceeding, the court granted the tenant's unopposed motion to amend their answer but struck the traverse defense, reasoning that a pro se litigant should have known to raise it initially. The court noted the landlord was considering the tenant's succession claim and, without a specific discovery motion, directed the landlord to issue discovery demands and the tenant to comply. This decision highlights issues with pro se defenses and the court's proactive role in discovery for succession claims.
