My landlord sent me a certified letter to evict me for being behind on lot rent. Then he called wanting money at the 1st of the month, we no longer have a binding contract. If I give him money, is the eviction notice voided if he excepts the money?

I wouldn't think so - being behind on the rent is in violation of the contract, so he was within his rights to evict. Was the money he wanted on the 1st the back rent, or rent for the coming month? Are you currently caught up? It sounds to me like he can still evict, and collect rent in the meantime, as long as you continue to inhabit the residence.

Just because you received a letter of eviction doesn't mean you no longer have a binding contract. You are still living there, but you are in breech of your contract by being behind on your rent. The eviction notice isn't voided if you give him money. However, if you pay all the money that you owe he/she can choose to dismiss the eviction. As long as you are behind on your rent, the eviction can and will take place. At which time there will be a judgement on your credit for the amount that you are behind. If you haven't paid for the current month, that amount will be added to the judgement as well as the court costs. He doesn't have to accept the money though but chances are if he's asking for the rent he will accept the money. You're best bet is to pay what you are behind on. If it's more then you can pay at once, contact your landlord and see if he can work with you, make payment arrangements and stick with it. He may be nice and allow you to stay if you are nice about how you approach him.

in most cases, if the landlord files for eviction, and you pay him any amount of money for rent, and he accepts it, this will void that particular eviction proceeding, and the process must start over. however, the landlord does NOT have to accept money from you, so don't be surprised if he doesn't want the money if you are continuously late on the rent.
PAY YOUR RENT, IN FULL, ON TIME!!!

the owner has no criminal accountability to alter the carpet, furnish washer and dryer hook united statesor supply a laundry facility except those issues are surprisingly stated interior the hire. There are not any rules requiring the owner to do any of the above. the owner ought to exterminate if there are rodents or bugs. deliver an authorized letter soliciting for the owner exterminate. If the owner would not extrminate, call the housing inspector.
