The tenant has 14 days after the notice has been served to make the payment. If they do not, an eviction can be filed. An end result may be a payment or a warrant with a judgment. At ANY time during this process, if the tenant pays, the process stops.

Reason for Termination * Required

The Occupant(s) * Required

I understand that a Notice of Termination / Non-Renewal must be properly served on the occupant(s) before filing an eviction proceeding, and that the required notice period must fully expire before the case can be filed.

I understand that accepting rent after the notice expires is considered a renewal of the lease and may result in my eviction case being unsuccessful in court.

🏛️ In Court

Pay to Stay Agreement: The attorney representing you has your consent to make a "Pay to Stay" deal. This is a payment plan to pay what is owed, on record and attached to a warrant if the tenant fails to make the payments.

Do you authorize a Pay to Stay Agreement?

Yes No

Regarding Waiving Judgment — please select one: *

I consent to waive judgment — The attorney representing me has my consent to waive a judgment if it will speed up the process. This means the tenant cannot pay off what they owe and then stay. This may also apply if the tenant is pushing for a hearing. I am not willing to waive judgment — I am not willing to waive judgment against the tenant, even if it results in the process being extended.
