Quote from jnbadger:
Years and years ago, when I was young and irresponsible, a Sherrif came to my door, and handed me a very official looking form.
I called my manager and asked "So that's it then?" She said, "No, if you are able to pay in full, I am still able to cancel the eviction." I think this is up to the management company, and just depends on how tired of you they are (and if they have someone to fill the apt)
I left, borrowed money from my dad, got a cashiers check from the bank, went back to the office and paid, and she called the Sherrif when I was still in the room to cancel the eviction.
Even though I was never evicted, the filing was seen by someone doing a background check years later, so beware.
Never been arrested. Almost being evicted was enough for me.
Are you worried about a background check for the 7 or something?
