Evictions

In my state, I can evict with 5 days of unpaid rent. It isn't months unpaid, it is days in every state. In the very most liberal pro-tenant states it isn't any more that 15-21 days. Days, not months.

Reasons to evict are not paying the rent (and that is an extremely easy eviction), not complying with the terms of the lease, conspicuous waste, outrageous behavior, drug dealing, violence, fire starting, police calls for whatever, felonies, moving in unauthorized tenants or pets, and on and on.

thanks for your comment anyway.

My budget is really tight this month but I certainly am not going to concern my landlord over it.

I go to pay rent on the 17th and she wouldn't accept my money order because i have an alleged balance of 1000+ dollars. she then explained that the previous office manager (yes we go through office managers like water) put in the system that i only paid half month rent in January, i provided proof that i paid full rent, but she still wouldn't accept my current month rent. long story short i have imaginary fees that have accumulated to the 1000+ dollars excluding the current month rent at the time, that can not be displayed in their system no further back than November 2016. i feel as if they are just telling me they filled eviction to get money from me because no one has a sense of urgency to review my account to clarify this problem. the corporate office stated that if he review my account and the fees are waived or valid that i dont have to pay them but the filling of the eviction fee. i have never ad this problem before i always pay rent on time and if not my late fee is always included.

what are the rules and procedure to handle this? should i fight this, move or give up the money?
please help.

I'm sorry about your mom, but life still goes on and bills still need to be paid. It's your fault that you 'had' to pay your rent late..not your mom's, not your landlord's. Yours. Rent never, ever has to be paid late.

The bolded sentence makes no sense whatsoever...how you can say you 'always' pay rent on time when clearly you do not?

She had no obligation to take your current rent payment because they already filed for an eviction....you were paying rent on the 17th!! I'm going to assume rent is due on the first..here in Florida evictions are fast...you would've already been served your eviction notice by the 17th.

If they really did file for an eviction thru the courts (served or not) it's going to affect your ability to rent because no landlord wants to deal with a tenant that doesn't pay their rent. Some don't mind late payers, they're making money in late fees, but they draw the line at non-payers period.

At this point, you might need to get a lawyer involved..but remember, you're not totally innocent here and you need to man up and accept your portion of the problem

These are NOT your forums and you do not control who posts what. The owner has certain rules to be followed (TOS) and the mods enforce the rules. Do not insult other posters.
