What do I do if I have been served with eviction papers?

Answer by  NGoodson (3395)

You would need to work out an agreement with your landlord that is to their satisfaction, but really all you can do is get current on your rent.

Being served eviction papers can be overwhelming, However, once the papers are in order it is kind of hard to reverse. If you want to work it out with your landlord without being evicted you need to do so in a timely manner. However, if your landlord denies what you have to offer, you must vacate the premises.

I'm assuming you did not pay your rent or destroyed something; the only reasonable and lawful thing for you to do is to pay damages.

You can try and contact the landlord. But if you have been served there is little chance that the landlord would be willing to work something out. Your best bet at this point is to file a response with the court and then go to your hearing.

Be sure to go to Court on the day of the hearing. If you want to try to work something out with your landlord ahead of time, go ahead.
