Looking like my landlords are trying to fuck me without even giving a reach around

I'll update the journals as the situation continues, but seems my landlords are stating i didn't pay last month. I was served papers today saying we need to go to court on the 15th for non payment of rent. thing is, thanks to the hustle from these last two weeks and you awesome people, we DID get rent in. i have the receipt from the bank, i have the receipt from the front desk with THEY'RE SIGNATURE on it.

I cant talk to the lawyer and court till tomorrow morning, so we'll see then. In the mean time, I already have the proof and paperwork in a folder ready for if we have to show up. Beyond that, all I can do is keep working.

I still have 3 slots left and I'll be busting my ass this week (like the last 2) to get the remaining 550$ we need for this month (due the 7th). I'll see you in stream.

Update:
Thank you all again for the suggestions. i have records of the bank log when we got the check, a copy of them signing the receipt from the front desk, a copy of the check itself, and a receipt copy from the bank the day we got it.

Rooting for you!

Yeah if you have the paperwork then you have demonstratble proof and they shouldn't be able to begin eviction proceedings. But it sounds like your landlord is a real piece of work still.

I'd look into seeing if it was stolen from the mail and cashed. There are people who goes through this kind of stuff and steal money like this. I'd also look into somehow finding where the money was spent.

we handed it to them personally. however, they had done that int he past. seems the reason we have new front desk landlords is because the last one was stealing rent checks.

My landlord tried this, i recorded video of me paying my rent. i also took pictures of the check i wrote them.

i also have a witness who can always testify that i paid my rent becuase her and my rent are paid at exactly the same time every month for the past at least 5 years.

damn man. and i thought mine was bad. but yeah i have the documentation of everything.

Yep, this is why you document everything.  It is clear to me they think you are trouble tenants and are likely trying to start the eviction process.  I've gone through the same thing, and documentation is key.  As long as you are up do date, have proof of such, and your lease agreement is still active, they generally can't evict you.  They can agree not to renew the lease, so I would be taking time looking for somewhere new soon if your lease agreement is almost over.

I hope things get better for you as being homeless is one of the worst things to have to deal with.  I've been there, and the prospect of not knowing if you have someplace safe to sleep is way too scary.

yeah im mostly worried about them trying to kick us out. our lease ends this month. we honestly don't want to be here, bu with us already here (and no money to really move), we were going to re-sign for another 6 months to give us buffer time to find somewhere else. but at this point, im just goign to pay this month on time and start looking. see what our options are.

If they cashed the check..then they can't claim you didn't pay. A lawyer will definitely help you and tell them straight up "we have receipts" and will put the kibosh on their shenanigans

If you are in the US, ask your attorney about counter suing them. What they did was malicious if they filed papers not even 2 months in. In most states, the courts don't appreciate false and/or frivolous lawsuits, especially from landlords. I know one person who won a similar case and the courts awarded them 5 years free rent from the landlord.
