Well if you PAY ALL of the rent by court time, they will have to start the eviction process all over again.........
Thats how much time you have.....
And NO the landlord cannot lock you out or toss out your stuff call the police on him if the does that.....
But as an AMERICAN you have a right to your day in court..
But being 2 months behind you will NOT get extra time to move just becuase you got 5 kids and its xmas.
The only way to gain extra time is to buy NOTHING for xmas and give all that money to the court.
-------------------
I live in texas we signed a taa lease contract. my wife lost her job and we're 2 months behind on
our rent. we just recieved our notice to vacate dated dec. 6. we have until midnight the 14th to
vacate. then it goes before the justice of the peace for legal action. how long after the 14th do
we possibly have until final eviction? will we be locked out of our house at this time? we will
move , but it is almost christmas. we have 5 small children and hope to be out by the 1st of jan.
we know we're responsible for the lease ammount. do we have a chance of being forced out
before then? HELP!!!
