Q: Just recently received my first eviction notice and must apear in court July 3rd.Its a (Forcible Detainer Notice)
A: Go to court and find out why you are being evicted. Is it because of non-payment? You'll get 10 days on top of whatever the date is after July 3rd. I got evicted once because my 8 year old son decided to have a campfire on the gulf course near our apartment while I was on the toliet. I mean I am in the bathroom for 20 minutes and this kid is building a campfire with rocks in a circle and paper in the middle, anyway, I took pictures to show where it was and how it couldn't possibly have started a fire beyond the guarded rocks. The judge was very understanding and he gave me 30 days so I could find a new place. When I said I was in the process of looking for a new house, he even told me that if my house mortgage didn't make in 30 days to come back and he'd give me another 30 days. I got out in 29 days and the judge told me I didn't have to pay the 30 days nor did I have to worry about my contract. So it all depends on your circumstances. I actually rented out a house once that the guy didn't pay me for 3 months. I almost lost my house, so the judge evicted him and his wife cursed my baby. People are so weird. (Yes,it was the 8 year old boy who was 6 months at that time.) Damn the O ho
