A: If the eviction hearing is due to unpaid rent, then your offers to repay would only be accepted if either (1) the landlord accepts or (2) the court feels the eviction is improper or creates undue hardship. You can certainly make the offer to repay, but neither the landlord nor the court is required to accept your offer. Note, if you can provide the full deficiency amount (cash in hand) prior to the hearing date you probably can prevent the eviction.
