What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I am being evicted and my LL has told me that she plans to later proceed in small claims court to seek past due rent. If she wins and I am ordered to pay her-- there is absolutley no way I can-- what will happen? Could I possibly go to jail? I have been out of work for almost two months now and have been unable to pay any bills. I am defaulting on several accounts and am about to be homeless because I don't have any money to pay first/last/security on a new rental. At this point, I may have to file bankruptcy unless I win the lottery because I have no way to catch up. I have never been to court and am unsure what will happen if I am ordered to pay her. There is a long line waiting to recieve money from me and I don't want to add my LL to the list. If I move out before the eviction court date (12/04) will the case still be valid? Any knowledge is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
