Q: my landlord has been accepting my rent with an expired lease and did not give me 30 day notice to, but filed an eviction
Prior to the eviction notice, I was served 3 days to vacate the premises. I contacted the rental office to rectify and renew, I was told they could not. I appeared in court, but the judge dismissed the case due rental company accepting payments and different lease expiration dates. What rights do I have?
A: If your rent becomes past due again, landlord must follow the proper eviction process, which requires a 3 day notice, then filing an eviction complaint. If landlord does not follow the proper process, then attend the eviction hearing and testify accordingly. The federal Center for Disease Control also has issued some protections for some tenants. Check the CDC website for the form to see if you qualify. But if the court grants the eviction, it will give you 7 to 10 days to leave or be put out by the sheriff.
