The advice of keeping rent in an escrow account might be a good idea, since the landlord has to sue you and you can pay if you have the money (and the judges decides you have to).
No one should be that worried about getting evicted, the court will NEVER allow you to be KICKED right out on the street. They always give a little time even if you didn’t have the money.
My mom has had tenants, and is elderly, and I have helped her evict some loser….he knew what he could get away with having done it before. She depends on that money to live. At least now tenants can’t use bancruptcy to hold the place for months, without rent, due to the new bancruptcy laws.
I believe you can go on nolo.com. I believe you can find some free tenant law information there. It might give you a little piece of mind.
