Eviction Misconceptions
The topic of this post is common eviction misconceptions in relation to an eviction for non-payment of rent.
When a tenant is confronted with an eviction, the thought of losing a home, negative marks on credit, and having to face a judge in court can be daunting and stressful.
In such a stressful situation, tenants who can’t afford an attorney look for answers on the web. Although the web is full of great information, sometimes the correct answer gets misconstrued.
Here is a short list of common eviction misconceptions:
Rent can be paid after expiration of a three day notice;
The judge will be lenient if there is an explanation of why rent was not paid;
The judge will decide how much longer the tenant can stay in the uni;t
If rent is paid into the landlords account, after expiration of notice, it will count as if it was accepted.
Theses are a few of the most common eviction misconceptions tenants mistake as fact.
If you are facing eviction, and your reasoning is listed above, make sure to further research and find the correct alternative. Otherwise, the misconception will end up causing a fatal problem in such a serious matter.
