Generally he can go back as far as you owe the rent. But a landlord can only evict you for not paying the rent, not for money that you owe for back rent. If your landlord accepts your money for the correct amount of rent, he cannot evict you for the back amount, but he can sue you for that.

How far behind in rent does it take before you get evicted?

It depends, If it was a private owner then you can talk and negotiate a plan that works, if you were able to get the rent money owed to them in a short time. It also depends on the person, if they are understanding or not. For a commercial property, they dont negotiate as well and also they are not as understanding. But i know that if you are behind 2-3 payments then a evicted notice is issued, you have about a week or 2 to leave.


Can i rent out rooms in my house if i am renting as a section eight tenant?

I have rented to Section 8 tenants and have no complaints. Rent is paid on time. As far as damages, it's like any other tenant. That's why you collect a security deposit and if that doesn't cover damages you can sue the tenant. But a tenant on Section 8, good luck.
