Actually, if your landlord accepted even a partial payment, he cannot begin an eviction notice unless it is specifically mentioned in the lease. Cashing your check or accepting cash of any amount is the same as an agreement to apply that payment towards your rent. It does not prevent him from going after you to collect the unpaid portion, but he has to wait until the next rent installment is due prior to giving notice of eviction. Again, if he accepts any part of a payment, he has agreed to delay the eviction process. If he wants to evict you, he must refuse partial payments and serve you notice of eviction.

yep. Your lease no doubt states that you must have the set amount on time. In most states, they can begin eviction action around 10 days after the due date, if the rent is not paid in full.
Depends on the state of course, but in most cases, you get 3 business days from the date you are served with an eviction notice (not including date of service) to pay your rent in full. Basically, you probably won't get booted out if you pay it as soon as you get it.

He wants to start the legal eviction clock.....As long as you pay IN FULL (including ALL late fees), the eviction will stop...But if you haven't paid in full, he then gets you out that much sooner.
I'm a landlord, and I'll take partial pymts - and start the eviction process because I can't afford to wait. Your legal right is to pay in full prior to the court hearing.

Your landlord cannot evict you without first taking you to court.
As a practical matter, he won't be able to serve you with notice (if required) and get you into court faster than you can come up with the rest of the money.

Once your rent is late, your landlord can send you a 3-day notice to pay or quit the lease....at that time, you should pay your rent within the 3 days, after that it is their decision whether or not to evict you.

Yes, and for legal reasons, he should. If he accepts partial payment of rent once, in some states it binds him to accept it on a continuing basis. And if he accepts partial payment from you, he must offer the same options to other tenants or face discrimination charges.

If the roommate is isn't on the employ she is subletting from you "at will" and can be seen a month to month renter. As a month to month renter, she is to blame to pay her share if she needs to stay interior the valuables. If she has pronounced that she would manage to no longer pay, you should provide her be conscious to circulate away (30 days). If she nevertheless refuses to pay, you should legally evict her. you could no longer legally eliminate her issues out of your place or replace out the locks. The sheriff has to eliminate her. with the aid of fact she isn't on the employ, you could no longer stress her to pay till the top of the employ term. you additionally could make her pay for the time she maintains to stay there plus for the thirty days be conscious.

He owns it he can pretty much do what he wants. Especially if you can't pay. Have you explained your situation to him? I guess some people just aren't very understanding♥
