ME AND MY FIANCE WERE 2 MONTHS BEHIND ON RENT. OUR RENT IS $500 A MONTH FOR A 2 BDRM FOURPLEX. THE REASON FOR IT BEING LATE IS BECAUSE MY FIANCE EX-GIRLFRIEND DECIDED SHE DIDN'T WANT CUSTODY OF THEIR 7 YEAR OLD SON AND SHE WANTED MY FIANCE TO TAKE HIM. WE ENDED UP SPENDING PART OF OUR RENT MONEY ON AN AIRLINE TICKET TO FLY HIM TO TEXAS FROM GEORGIA. ALSO ON TOP
OF THAT MY FIANCE LOST HIS JOB AND JUST FOUND ANOTHER ONE TODAY. OUR LANDLORD TOLD US HE WAS EVICTING US IF WE DIDN'T PAY OUR BALANCE OF $724.01 BY DECEMBER 23RD. I TOLD THE LANDLORD I COULD PAY AT LEAST 75% OF IT ON THE 30TH OF DECEMBER AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PAY THE REST. THE LANDLORD DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR OF THE EXCUSES. BASICALLY HE SAID PAY UP OR GET SUED.
I PAID $540.00 ON THE 30TH OF DECEMBER AND THEY FILED THE COMPLAINT WITH THE COURTS ON THE 29TH OF DECEMBER. WE HAVE A BALANCE NOW OF $184 PLUS JANUARY'S RENT AND LATE FEES WHICH COMES TO $550.00. OUR COURT DATE IS ON THE 12TH OF JANUARY.
BY THE TIME WE GO TO COURT I WILL HAVE PAID ANOTHER $200 LEAVING A BALANCE OF $534.00. CAN ANYONE OUT THERE TELL ME IF I TELL THE JUDGE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES FOR NOT PAYING RENT AND TRY TO MAKE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS, WILL THE LANDLORD/JUDGE ALLOW US TO KEEP POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY?
WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE? I REALLY LIKE OUR APARTMENT AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE PACKING ALL OF OUR STUFF AND MOVING AGAIN. WE'VE ONLY BEEN THERE 3 MONTHS.
