§ 12-1148.6. Answer or affidavit by defendant
A. In all cases in which the defendant wishes to assert title
to the land or that the boundaries of the land are in dispute, he
shall, before the time for the trial of the cause, file a verified
answer or an affidavit which contains a full and specific statement
of the facts constituting his defense of title or boundary dispute.
If the defendant files such a verified answer or affidavit, the

file answer within ten (10) days after the date the affidavit is

asserted breach of a lease by the defendant, or the termination or
expiration of a lease under which the defendant claims an interest
in the property in a verified answer or affidavit, the plaintiff may
proceed with the forcible entry and detainer action instead of an
ejectment action.

for trial of the cause.
