How can I stop evection
I was issued with a course letter giving me a date to pay my rent which I did and I had to pay the lawyer 5000. I have paid him and am now behind with my rent and will now be paying to get updated. I paid the last 2500 to the lawyer today and was told that I needed to pay 9400 by Wednesday if not paid I will be evectedited. Please help

Legally, a tenant can defend an eviction proceeding if he or she has grounds or reasons to do so. However, it would be unfair to challenge a landlord simply as a delaying tactic, e.g., where tenant cannot pay rental.
You can enter into a payment arrangement with the lawyer beyond the Wednesday deadline.
