§ 21115. Judgment, What it Shall Declare.
If, upon the trial, the findings of the court be in favor of the plaintiff
and against the defendant, judgment shall be entered for the restitution of the
premises; and if the proceedings be for an unlawful detainer after neglect, or
failure to perform the conditions or covenants of the lease or agreement
under which the property is held, or after default in the payment of rent, the
judgment shall also declare the forfeiture of such lease or agreement, if the
notice required by § 21103 of this Chapter states the election of the landlord
to declare the forfeiture thereof, but if such notice does not so state such
election, the lease or agreement shall not be forfeited.
The court shall also assess the damages occasioned to the plaintiff by
any forcible entry, or by any forcible or unlawful detainer, alleged in the
complaint and proved on the trial, and find the amount of any rent due, if the
alleged unlawful detainer be after default in the payment of rent. Judgment
against the defendant guilty of the forcible entry, or forcible or unlawful
detainer may be entered in the discretion of the court either for the amount of
the damages and rent found due, or for three (3) times the amount so found.
