Remedies
Sec. 12. Any defendant in the main court action for possession of
real property may file a complaint setting forth the sale and title
under it and any other matter allowed under this chapter. The court
proceedings must assess the values, damages, and other amounts of
which assessment is required under section 3 of this chapter. If after
the main court action the plaintiff has not paid the amount assessed
by the court, the court shall set a reasonable time for the plaintiff to
pay the defendant. If the plaintiff does not pay the amount within the
time set by the court, the court shall order the land sold without relief
from valuation or appraisement laws. If the premises are sold, the
defendant is entitled to receive from the proceeds of the sale the
amount the defendant is due, with interest, and court costs. The
plaintiff is entitled to the remainder of the proceeds of the sale.
