Question

My July rent is over due I can pay it and all fees on 08/01/08 I go to court om 8/4 i'm scared and worried

Answer 1

If you were this far late with July, what makes you think you can afford August?  Find somewhere affordable.

Answer 2

Don't be scared.  You are going to court to protect your interests. You do that by telling the truth; but also to tell if the landlord exaggerates.  You will know if he is telling the truth or not. The judge will rely on you to help her decide.  You will be given a few days or weeks to get out.  If you don't get out, the judge will send the sheriff. Don't make her do that.  You can learn a lot by going to court.

In 10 years you will own a house of your own.  You will smile when you remember the time you went to court. /

Answer 3

You can pay it, with late fees and court costs before the court date.  Depending on your state's laws.  Some states only let you do this one time.

Answer 4

If you have that, and Aug rent you can pay it and avoid court, if the landlord will accept it.

Otherwise you go to court, get evicted and landlord asks for damages, at which time you pay the past due rent and Aug prorated to when you have to leave (should be around 8/9) and you move on with life with an eviction on your record.
