Can I be evicted if I paid my back rent in full?
I was behind two months in rent. I received a notice from the law offices for the management company that they would issue a petition for eviction within 5 days if the rent wasn't paid. I paid all of the back rent but it took more than 5 days. I paid it (delivered via Fed Exp) on April 17th but the check hasn't yet been cashed. Today is 4/21. Today, I received (hand delivered) a "final judgment" of possession requiring me to come to court and to turn over possession of my apt immediately and to pay the back rent. The petition is dated April 15th. Can they still evict me if my back rent is paid in full? Do I still have to appear in court? Should I call their attorney and let them know my rent is paid in full? Thank you, Worried Single Mom
