What is the name of your state? Illinois
I am being evicted by the new landlord. The former landlord sold the property to the new landlord and told the new landlord that I owed more money than I owe.
My questions are: If the amount on the summons is excessive, and therefore it is incorrect, what is normally a remedy from the courts in this case? And what should I do to defend myself in court?
It should also be noted that:
1. Both Landlords do accounting or have accountants.
2. Obviously the second landlord filed the summons without first verifying as to what the amount actuallly owed was.
