If I have a court paper to pay back rent owe on a certain day. Does this also includes the rent of the month ? Do I have to pay them together?

The back rent is due on that day - the current month's rent is do as per the lease.If they happen to be the same day- that's coincidence.However, if you don't pay the current month's rent - the landlord can file suit once more which increases your costs.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask!Please remember to only rate my answer when you are satisfied with my response.

If a have papers in court stating that I have pay my back rent rears certain day. Which I do but my rent is 5 days late. Can they still send me the marshal notice?
No, that's only as to the outstanding rent overdue at that time - not if your late on the current rent.

My landlord did just that. Can I do something? Or how can I approach them the next time ?
Not really, if you're late - the landlord can pursue another civil action or eviction or payment - that is their legal right.Your only options are to discuss the matter with them and negotiate some reasonable payments as to the arrears and current rent due.I think if you could pay them weekly so much - that usually appeases the landlord.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask!Please remember to only rate my answer when you are satisfied with my response.

You have being very helpful. Thank you. Have a great day. !! ;)))
I'm so sorry hit the wrong button. ;((
My apologies you were excellent.
What are you looking for? I can't change the law nor negotiate with the landlord. If the landlord demands that his rent is paid on time or on a certain date and will file suit if you haven't paid - then you either you have to move OR negotiate something else with the landlord.That's OK - we get that answering legal questions when we give bad news.I know you realize - good or bad - we are just telling you what the law is on a subject. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it's unethical to say something which is illegal or wrong.
