Ok, I got a letter of eviciton to leave my home on 8/22, that gave me 10 days from that date for me to do so. I sent the payment today..9/1, by MoneyGram for the one month's payment which is all I owed. Do you think they'll still try to evict me even after receiving the payment? If so, I'm out of almost $500....please help if you have any legal advice for me..in case this happens.....thank you!

There are a lot of variables that have to be considered.
1.) Depends on where they are in the eviction process as to whether or not they will accept your payment. You might just get it back in the mail.
2.) Depends on whether or not they like you. Have you payed your rent on time in the past or are you always late and causing them a lot more admin costs that you are worth as a tenant?
3.) Could you easily be replaced? How's the rental market in the area?
4.) If you've already gotten a letter to move in 10 days then it may have already gone to an attorney and if this is so then you'll have to pay for the incurred attorney fees. Will you be able to do that?

This is largely dependent on the landlord since your payment covers the rent in arrears anyhow and he/she would have come after you with a 2nd cause i.e. the money judgement after the 1st cause i.e. the eviction. Until the order to evict is dismissed by the court, you still have to leave if that is what the landlord wants.

You need to call the company. Most of the time it takes 90 to evict you from a residence. They can't do it for being one month behind, they have to show you are always late on your payments, and usually 90 days late. Call the number on the paper and talk to them, and tell them that you sent them the money, and don't want to leave.

Do you have a signed lease?
I know of some companies that have leases stating that and eviction can proceed even if you pay in full.
If no lease, then the law regarding landlord/tenants for your state/province would be the place to look.

Get the # of your money gram and if they cashit you should be alright. Although mobil homes do have some real ogurts that work for them.n Most of them have no heart.
