Q: 10 day demand. No statutory statement. No date,time, summons on the 24th for court 27th paperwork submitted to court inv
Valid. Had trial wanted to present my evidence which clearly shows they didn't properly serve me I was told if we go to trial and the magistrate sees I owe money it's going to be an eviction regardless. Can I reverse the agreement to leave in 20 days?
A:
If you believe the eviction process was mishandled, particularly regarding service of notice and your chance to present evidence, you might have grounds to challenge the agreement or the eviction itself. It's essential to review local tenant laws and eviction procedures as they can vary widely. You should act quickly due to the time-sensitive nature of eviction proceedings.
Contacting a legal aid organization or an attorney familiar with tenant rights in your area is advisable. They can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and the local laws. Document everything related to your case, including any evidence of improper service or other procedural mistakes.
If there's a legal basis for reversing the agreement due to procedural errors or if you were not given a fair chance to defend yourself, your legal advisor can help you file the necessary motions with the court. Remember, time is of the essence in eviction cases, so immediate action is crucial. Keep all communication with your landlord and the court in writing for your records.
