Well, it's a moot point now because, as I said above, all my arrears have been paid in full as of today. I only mentioned it to relay what my experience was in court for anyone interested. No matter how much I objected to including those words in the stip, I was shot down and told that I'd have to go to trial if I did not sign that stip. My landlord refused to agree to a stip without those terms.
So, do I need to go and show my receipts to the judge and formally request the stip to be vacated, based on having made all the payments required of me? I've been searching the Housing Court website and haven't found the answer to what needs to be done once a settlement/payment plan is satisfied.
