Hello all! I must say that I am very thankful that this site exists.
Info:
I have a 10-day pay or vacate notice. It expires on 17June2018 which is a Sunday. I am a reservist and have orders to go out of the country for two weeks(14June - 29June). I will not be able to pay my rent until 22June2018 and will be ok with paying the next month's rent on the first. I have expressed this and am told by the property manager that I still must pay before 17June2018 or vacate the premises.
Questions/concerns:
1. If I pay the due base rent plus additional fees, is it the landlord's choice to accept the rent and stop legal proceedings or do they HAVE to accept tender as cure of the default on rent?
.
2. Do I have ANY protections under the SCRA from now until my orders end and if so, what are they? (I looked it up myself and am a bit confused on rather I am protected or not.)
3. In the pay or vacate notice, it expires on Sunday, but they close on Sunday. Yet they have a way to pay electronically. Does that change the expiration date of the 10-day notice? Just curious.
4. Can my landlord force me to pay next month's rent(July) and the late rent together or not at all before the July rent is even due? (I have faced that issue before two years ago and they said that the case would not be dismissed unless both the late rent and next month's rent was paid, even though the court case was scheduled for the 27th of the late rent month.)
5. I have not yet received the pay or vacate notice in the mail or on my door, but only in an e-mail as an attachment. Does the 10-day period start from the time the letter was written, from the time I replied to the e-mail with the attachment or from the time that it shows up in my mailbox??
I know this is a lot but I need help fast. Thank you very much for all that reply.
