I'm behind 2 months in rent, and I just got a postcard from the court informing me that papers have been filed. I haven't got the papers yet, and am going down to court tomorrow to see what's up. I didn't have the $$, now I do.
I just looked at the Bar Association tenant guide.
1. I was never warned of eviction, orally or in writing, and in fact have never even been asked for rent in any manner. It's always been a pro-active process. The guide says that a warning or notice of eviction is necessary. Is this a solid defense? Or is that a technicality that LLs will try to fudge, and the court won't take seriously?
2. If I pay in full immediately, how open/shut can this be? I really don't want to deal with this, lawyers, etc... I've never been in trouble with this stuff before, with any LL.
Thanks in advance for any advice.. bitin' me nails.
