But be aware that the late fee is usually the first thing covered by the next payment. If you are late and I assess a $20 late fee, then you come and pay $500, you are paying the late fee first, and then the rent. This causes you to have another late fee because you didn't pay the rent in full.
$500 + $20 (late fee) - $500 payment = $20 in rent still unpaid = late fee.
Process to eviction tenant with no lease. Has been asked to vacate will not leave has not paid rent.
step 1) find a LL oriented RE lawyer who does this regularly.
step 2) stick to him like glue and see what/how he does it.
step 3) amend your lease so that it complies with the law
step 4) when something comes up in the future? "nip it in the bud"
step 5) if/when you need to do the civil process of eviction yourself
know the letter of the law and follow it using the example you paid that attorney
back there in step 1 to show you how up close and personal

If you are paid in full up to this day, the court won't allow the eviction through. But check your lease and see what it says about them ending terminating your lease early. Also might want to check out the real estate forum which has one just on renting.
When is the rent actually due? The first of the month? If so, they probably give you a 5-day grace period and then wait the 10 days And then file. An eviction is a last resort. They probably got tired of constant late payments and filed for the eviction. You're lucky they don't file immediately after the grace period ends.
First thing, read your lease and make sure you sent the proper notices to your tenant at the times your lease requires. Keep copies of all the notices. Then go to the courthouse and file the paperwork with the clerk of court. Again, check your lease bc some of them are very specific in regards to what notices are sent and what dates are followed. The magistrate will throw your case out if you didn't do what you were suppose to when you were suppose to. You will receive a court date in the mail within a few days and court will be within 10-13 days. Bring all your paperwork to court including your lease and copies of any notices sent. If you or the tenant are not satisfied with the judges ruling, you both have 10 days to appeal. Three weeks after the date of appeal, the court will assign a new date and mail it to you. Repeat above. If you win and no appeal was filed, on the 11th day after your winning court date (weekends included) you can file a writ and the sherrif will meet you at the residence and you can change the locks.
