My landlord agreed to a half and half payment for August's rent. After I paid the first half, he called to tell me I had until the end of the month to get out. Now he wont accept my payment for the rest of this months rent.
Rachelle,
I hope that you received the agreement of your landlord to allow you to pay the rent in two installments in writing or you have witnesses to the agreement. Otherwise, this situation will become one of negotiation with your landlord.
However, if your landlord wants to force you to move he will have to go through the court system to obtain an eviction. This process begins with the delivery of a written Notice from that point if you play your cards correctly it could take the landlord a month to complete a judicial eviction.
