I was not able to pay rent since I lost my job(4 months). The landlord decided to go to court to evict me. I showed up at the court when the trial date came but the landlord did not. So they dismissed the case. I am not denying the rent I owe but I just found a job and that does not even pay enough for the rent.
If the landlord showed up, I was going to talk to them about a settlement plan. The other day the landlord shows up with a settlement paper asking me to sign it. It says I am gonna pay her a whole rent every month till the back rent is fully paid. It does not say anything about the current month's rent. I did not sign it because I did not fully understand it, and I think any settlement should be signed at the court or I have a right to be heard by the judge.
In any case, I do not have enough money to pay them double rent till the back rent is paid off..I can only pay %25 of the rent as extra every month to cover the back rent..So, my question is:
can they bring the police here because I did not sign the settlement paper they brought? But the case is dismissed since they did not show up at the court. Can they forcefully kick me out?
