Hello Isabella, nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I received a 3 day notice on */*/* for $*,* by */*/*. I paid and sent pictures of money orders on */*/*. Since */*/* I have not received another 3 day notice on my door and I don’t see one in our text messages but my landlord is texting me that he is still going to court with the eviction process. I tried to write a personal check to resolve the rent issue but was not accepted unfortunately. Can he still legally evict me?
That sounds challenging, Isabella. May I know which state you're located in? Laws regarding eviction processes vary by location.
