If a landlord allows a resident to remain in/on rented property for 30 days or more after an eviction proceeding should begin, the landlord could lose the right to evict the resident.
If a resident misses a month, then pays the next month and it is applied to the first month’s rent without filing a three days notice to cure for that month (notice to cure means tenant has violated the lease), eviction could be blocked.
As veteran community owner-operators and association pros know, the eviction process is about gaining possession of property more than capturing back rent. By applying the payment to the current month, the landlord can then file a money judgment action for the back rent and have two lawsuits running concurrently. Contact your state MH association or legal counsel for more insights. ##
