UD-115 records what the plaintiff and defendant stipulate in an unlawful detainer case: who gets possession, money awarded, the deposit, any installment payments, and whether judgment is entered now or only on default. The judicial officer signs “IT IS SO ORDERED.” It cites Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6.

Before you file
Common filing problems to check
These checks come from the official form and instructions. They are not a ranking of rejection reasons; the court decides whether a filing meets its requirements.
More than one inconsistent box is checked in item 6 for when judgment is entered.
The total in item 2i does not match the amounts listed, or the installment schedule in item 5.
The deposit is neither awarded in item 2g nor addressed in item 3.
A named party does not sign in item 8.
