You should most definitely consult with an attorney having experience in landlord/tenant matters especially if a summary proceeding for eviction has been commenced against you. Any evidence that you can submit on your behalf to prove your case will be necessary at any trial. Such evidence may include witness testimony supporting your position. The local court rules will govern what evidence will be allowed.
