the rent is due. I don't have enough to cover it. I got the money coming in 1 week but landlor want it in 3 days. Threatens to evict us. We were planing on leaving to anothere cheaper apartment next month anyways. Can I get that eviction taken of if I pay a few days after it was put on me? I realize that I might have to pay lawyer fees. Do they have the right to the security deposit even if I pay a week from now? Someone please give me some useful information.

The landlord has to send a 7 day notice after that they have to file papers in court and wait for a court date. If you pay the whole thing and any fees before the date the judge will dismiss the case and you will not have it on your credit report. If a judgement is entered then it will be there no matter what until a special form called a satisfaction of judgement is filed with the local court house. It is always better if you don't have all the money to pay what you can, go to court and ask the judge to adjourn the case for a week to give you a chance to pay it. Most of the time the judge will do it. Make sure you give yoru landlord notice that you're moving so they don't take the deposit as a penalty, they are usually 30 days but better a few days late then not at all. Hope this helps

If the rent is late, the landlord has no obligation to take it, and can choose to evict for non-payment. If they take it late and in whole, then he can't evict you for that reason. If you owe the rent or other damages, they can claim against the security deposit. If you do pay the rent, they cannot then collect again against the deposit.

Eviction is a legal process in the states! pay the late fee when you pay and you will be fine.
