Go back home.
[User clicks the home icon and the Filer Dashboard page loads.]
And now let's initiate a new case for filing.
Click on 'Start a New Case.'
[User clicks the 'Start a New Case' button. The Start a New Case page loads.]
At this time, only Summary Process and Small Claims cases can be electronically filed.
The Case Information page becomes available and the filer must complete the following details. Again, a red box indicates that these are required fields.
Go ahead and choose Housing Court, and because this is an alphabetical order, you will have to scroll down, and choose Eastern.
[User clicks the Location dropdown and scrolls to select Housing - Eastern (Boston).]
We're gonna go ahead and choose Summary Process for the case type today, and we're gonna select the Efiled Summary Process and Complaint as cause.
[User selects Summary Process from the Category dropdown and then selects EFiled SP Summons and Complaint from the Case Type dropdown.]
Now, the following three fields here are only required to file for an appeal, so in this case we can go ahead and ignore them.
Click Save Changes.
