I’ve searched endlessly for something that isn’t copied/pasted legal talk, but I’ve found nothing. I’ll explain my situation below. I’m NOT looking for anything copied from a website. I can google just fine on my own. I need it explained, especially the time lines.

I was recently released from jail to find out (not surprisingly) that I was being evicted for not paying my rent. I was mailed a Summons/Residential, dated August 28, 2008, stating I had five days to respond. Well, I was in jail until after that five day period ended. Now it’s September 11.

Can someone tell me (in english, please) what the next steps against me are, as well as the time I have left? By time left, I’m referring only to the process times. I’m aware that things can take longer to process depending on how busy the courts are. I’m mainly interested in what’s the minimum time I have left.

According to the clerk of courts website, my eviction case is listed as “open”. No dispositions entered, no rulings. Also, I live in Broward county Florida (I’m sure that’s important in determining the applicable laws).

Thanks in advance for anyone with useful information.
I’m not looking to contest it, and I can’t afford to pay it. I will not be able to catch up with the rent at any point. I’m only looking for time frames.
And thanks for actually reading the question. I found that exact process myself.

I need an ANSWER. Not a copied and pasted webpage.

I moved out of my apartment on the date specified by the judge in a court ordered money judgement/possesion.

This was a consent judgement, I showed up for court, and I received the court papers before leaving. I recieved in the mail on yesterday a notice from the property manager dated Oct. 17th, 29 days from the date, I moved out of the apartment. This notice did not have the correct rental unit or vacate date listed, but it has my name as a tenant, no damages were listed BUT they listed a default lease amount for the remainder of the lease if I hadn’t moved.

Is this a valid notice?

It stated that I had 7 days to respond. The information that they have listed on the notice is not accurate. If I reply to this notice, disagreeing with the information contained in the notice, will this classify as admission to what they have stated? Can I dispute the entire validity and authentication of the information listed?

Can I sue them for my security deposit, since they did not technically respond in the time allocated by legislature to act when refunding security deposits? Technically they have not contacted me, since the information listed is not accurate.

Attorneys/Landlord Tenant Law expertise/Property Managers/ or those who have encountered this same situation.

My parents received a summons from the court stating that they are being evicted because of non-payment. However, my parents have the cleared check copies from the bank where it clearly shows that the landlord cashed all of the checks… What can we do? The landlord has hired an attorney should we do the same? Or are my parents okay since they have proof of payment? Thanks in advance!

About a year ago I did not get along with my boyfriend very well so we broke up and I signed a room mate release form with my signature, his signature, and the complex’s manager signature on it. After we broke up, he got evicted like 4 months later. Now I get a collection notice in the mail saying that I owe them money for the eviction too! I call the complex and they say that the form we signed together did not mean anything, regardless to the fact that I no longer lived there when my ex-roomate! Does that make sense to anybody??? I thought a contract was a contract?
in the room mate release it says that I am no longer responsible for any rent or damages and it is the remaining resident’s responsiblity

I won a case in a rental dispute against my landlord. Within days her attorney had a lien in place against me, without informing me or my attorney. My attorney at that time has since moved away. Is there a way for me to remove this now?

I have know this guy for years. We decided to started dating and formed a really good relationship.We have been together for 10 months.

In Nov. he got laid off from him dream job due to downsizing and now he is depressed. So depressed that he doesn’t eat or sleep properly. I try to be supportive as possible. but i am a single mom and don’t have much to give . After a long day at the office, dealing with my five year old. I often need some TLC myself. he is so down and out he is running on empty.
he is the best guy I ever met. respectful, supportive, helpful, disciplined etc…
but he refuses to take just any job and is working on building up his own business and while it is slow he is doing quite well. (meanwhile the bills are piling up and he is facing eviction.)

How long do I stick around? I genuinley believe he cares for me as much as I do him but his depression and the lack of attention has me wanting to bail. How long do i stick around? I need love too!

Please advise

I have been subletting my apartment from an individual for over a year. As it turns out, for the last five months he has not been paying the landlord the rent I have been giving to him (he also has my security). It amounts to nearly $8000. Should I file a civil claim against him? A fraud claim? Both? The landlord’s attorney is threatening to come after me for the back rent. I would like to get as much of the rent from him and pass it on to the landlord, it would make me feel a lot better about the situation. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am moving out of the apartment at the end of the month, so I am not really concerned about being evicted. I just don’t want this coming back to me.

I have 2 evictions on my credit report. 1 of them is from NY in feb 2007 and the other was in MA in july 2009. The one form NY was all court fees. We moved to MA because we couldn’t pay the rent anymore. My wife was not working and she was pregnant, and i lost my job. So we just up and moved to MA (where im from). About 2 years later i lost my job again and we just up and moved to CA. We had so much debt under our belt so we claimed chap 7. I know my/our credit is completely shot. We needed a co-signer to get the apt where we are living now. My wife wants to move to a more child friendly area, but everywhere we look they do not accept anyone with evictions, not even with a co-signer. Are we stuck here for the next 7 years or is there a way to get the evictions off of our credit? Due to the bankruptcy, we do not owe anything anymore, including the 2 apts where we got the evictions. Someone please show me the way so get out of this mess……….
