2nd time for eviction at same house.

By Dorothy

 Once again I was served eviction for being late with rent at from the same landlord at the same house.  I was on my way to pay the rent on may 2nd when my landlord texted me and said "don’t forget the $80.00 late charge even know I was only 12 hours late. I told her If I have to pay the late charge I will pay on the 15 of the month since my rental agreement says $80.00 if late in month. It doesn’t say less if 12 hours late or more if 2 weeks late. The next day I recieved a 5 day notice and it said she wants the rent 0n the 10th or vacate. I dropped off a check in her mailbox on the 10th as she likes to be paid. The check was not cashed and a few days later I recieved a court eviction for May 29th. When I tried texting her about it she said I can just get out now and if any questions talk to her lawer I told her about the check I dropped off and she did not respond back and still never cashed the check. Now I have to go to eviction court. I already have an eviction on my record from this same landlady from 3 years ago when she put me through the same thing for being late and It was never even taken off my record even knowing I am still living here!  I want to move but need time since I have a child who has a disability an is in 6th grade.

     So my questions are:
        Can she not cash or act like she never recieved my rent check to get me out right away?
        Does the court have to give me time to move in a situation like this?
        Can she keep evicting me in court and making it very hard to find another place with this on my record?
        Can she even charge me a late fee for being 12 hours late?
         
     Also, when she evicted me 3 years ago, none of the rental units I applied for never called back. I then had my daughter call her and pretend she was a landlord calling for a reference to see what she would say about us and what we thought was true. She told her nothing but bad things about us and even told her bad things that my daughter did not even ask. If all these things were true, We would of never made it living here 6 years. 
     How am I suppose to find another place wnen she is completely hindering my ability with slander and deformation of character? 
     I ‘m really sorry I was late a couple of times but don’t believe I deserve to go through this. Is there any thing I can do?
                                                                                                                 Thank you,
