Everyone knows that landlords can often be greedy. A few days late on your rent and they start calling or, worse yet, they pound on your door demanding payment. What ever you do, don’t ignore them. Give them a call. Tell them that you have been in an accident, an attorney is handling your lawsuit and you expect a big check down the road. Landlords may be greedy but they are not stupid. They will listen. They know that it is hard to throw you out of your apartment and it can be very expensive if they try to do so.
