     566.07 Answer; trial. 

    After the return of the summons, at the time and place 
 appointed therein, the defendant, on appearing, may answer the 
 complaint, and all matters in excuse, justification, or 
 avoidance of the allegations thereof shall be set up in the 
 answer; and thereupon the court shall hear and determine the 
 action, unless it shall adjourn the trial as provided in section 
 566.08, but either party may demand a trial by jury.  The 
 proceedings in such action shall be the same as in other civil 
 actions, except as in this chapter otherwise provided.  The 
 court, in scheduling appearances and hearings under this 
 section, shall give priority to any unlawful detainer brought 
 under section 504.181, or on the basis that the tenant is 
 causing a nuisance or seriously endangers the safety of other 
 residents, their property, or the landlord's property.
