Please treat this email as a formal notice and be prepared for eviction/attorney charges if there is any delay?

Please treat this email as a formal notice and be prepared for eviction/attorney charges if there is any delay going forward. what does this mean? the landlord said cash must be in by end of the day, we emailed him back and said I can have it to him Wednesday because of bank rules in my trust. He never replied!

    Your landlord has to deliver an order to quit the premises or pay within so many days. Don’t accept an email as a formal notice.

    What state are you in? How late are you with the rent?

    If he wants to issue an eviction notice to you, he must do it legally (email is not legal), and he *cannot* charge you fees or attorney fees for the process. In most states, if he accepts money from you for rent, eviction proceedings cannot continue.

    Means absolutely nothing as an eMail is not a formal notice,
    landlord’s too cheap to get an atty’s letter done and pay for registered mail/ SIGNED RETURN receipt
    and you either should have disregarded it or contacted him when you felt like it via the phone or in person.

    did your landlord KNOW that much of your personal business (trust) prior to that eMail ?
    he shouldn’t………

    OF course,pay your rent according to the guidelines within your lease,
    if you’re having difficulties simply inform him/her on the due date
    and never acknowledge any kind of so-called “notice” if not hand delivered directly to your hand
    or registered mail/signed return receipt–
    wouldn’t stand up in court eMail…however,YOU RESPONDED to it treating it as such—hope you understand this.

    same as if your landlord doesn’t renew your lease BUT still accepts the months rent and you have your receipts.
    he has an unwritten agreement now and YOU have your receipts.
    he can’t turn around and evict you.

    google laws,tenants rights for your city/state and at least become knowledgeable.

    It means your landlord doesn’t understand the eviction process unless you have a Draconian lease. I am assuming you’re in the US if so email isn’t a recognized legal document. Generally it takes a month or more to legally evict someone.Your landlord hasn’t written you back because he is stymied by your reply. Even if he hired a lawyer it would take a few days just to get the ball rolling most states require 30 days notification of eviction before you are removed I think he’ll wait a couple of days.

    I would just pay him on Wed. as early as possible and be ready to pay a late fee of some sort. Be sure to get a receipt and keep a copy handy in case he tries to bring it up later. If your banking dates will make you late in the future see if you can adjust your due date by a few days to accommodate your trust
