I've received a 3 Day Demand for Rent letter, but sent a check for the owed money a couple days before receiving this letter. My concern is that if I am away from my apartment for the holidays if they claim not to have been paid how quickly can they move in the courts.
I understand I would have 5 (business days I hope) to respond to the petition thing. The question is how many days would it take for them to serve me with something I would be required to respond to within 5 days, if I am not home.
For instance, if I am away for 9 business days, would they be able to get a petition to me within 4 days so that I would be unable to respond to it within the 5 days.
Does this matter since I am attempting to pay?
