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. 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.
