I owed rent last month and got a 30 day eviction notice. I paid what I owed last month as well as this month's rent in full and they accepted the large payment for both last month as well as this month's due payment, but I still got a court issue
Hello Katelyn. In Washington, accepting full payment of rent generally nullifies the eviction notice. However, it could depend on the specifics of your lease agreement. Please, consult with a local tenants' rights organization or a legal professional for precise advice.
Should I still call the number or reply to the court issue even though I paid what I owed in full or could I talk to the landlord about the issue
Absolutely, Katelyn. You should respond to the court issue to ensure your rights are protected. It's also a good idea to communicate with your landlord about the matter. Keep all records of payments and correspondences.
But I cannot be evicted since they accepted the payment for last month as well as this month?
Generally, in Washington, if a landlord accepts full rent payment after serving an eviction notice, the eviction is typically voided. However, it's best to consult with a legal professional to understand your specific situation. Keep all records of payments and communications.
