Q: How is this legal ?? I went to court for eviction with a legal aid the pension is agree to amend petition to include
Present rent which is June the judge gave me till the 14 of July to pay the back owed $ on June 6 my landlord went to city marshals to get me out in 14 days my aid sent me a copy of court paper by mail with another paper saying to pay June rent on time really ?????
Never agreed to that since court was on may 31
It does not say that on the court paper signed by the judge what to do ?
A: Generally, an agreement to pay the arrears includes a provision to pay the current rent on time. Failure to pay the current rent on time is grounds for the landlord to have you evicted. You can stop the eviction by paying all the rent you owe.

A: Adding to attorney Colatosti's answer, I want to suggest that your legal aid attorney is really the only person who can answer any questions about the agreement you entered into. Those legal aid attorneys are generally quite good at navigating optimum agreements for tenants and I would trust and follow their guidance.
