Q: Hi, I was not able to pay the full amount of rent for this month (May) but paid $200.00 from the $1700 due.
I was not paid by my last boss to no fault of my own and he owes me a lot of money, but has not paid me so far, so my income has gone down extensively, hence the reason for my delayed rent payment. I am trying to get the rest of the money asap ($1500) but don't know when exactly.
My roommate has the lease on her name, I am just subleasing but don't have a written agreement. I want to try and pay her asap, but if she tells me to leave do I have until end of the month as she accepted the $200.00 I paid her so far.
A: The landlord could serve you with a 3 day notice for non-payment for the balance that you owe. If you do not pay within 3 days of being served with the 3 day notice, then the landlord could file an eviction court case against you.
