We're in North Carolina. We've been having problems with the landlords for the last month and a half. When my husband went to pay the rent on the first, he gave our notice. A little while later, a note was stuck in our door telling us we were evicted. Payment was stopped on the check the following morning. Saturday, landlady came up and started screaming at me (in front of my 2 year old). Tonight at 10:30 a sheriff's deputy knocked on our door and served my husband with a summary ejectment complaint.
The complaint is not accurate. She claims we breached the lease even though our lease ran out in 2006 and we never signed another one. She also claims the payment was stopped after she had already deposited the check.
We did not get a pay or quit notice if that matters (researching it now).
So now my husband has to go to court next Monday over this or get a default judgment against us. Plus we just submitted an application for another place and will probably lose it because of this being filed.
What can we do? Should we fight it on the grounds the complaint is inaccurate? On the grounds we weren't given a pay or quit?
