Settlement questions

[tc75]

After much frustration I have agreed on a settlement with my landlord over lack of heat and rent abatement. However, our court date for a trial by jury is still standing, for April 5. We agreed on an abatement over the phone, and I am awaiting a written confirmation. Assuming that everything works out, what do I do with the court date? How do I cancel it? Is it too late? Thanks for any advice you can give!!!!!!

Show up no matter what. If you don't they win by default, they can forget to say you settled. Unless you get something from the court saying it was cancelled, cover your butt and be there.
