Just got an eviction notice today that I had no idea was coming. I've paid rent every month on time for the past year and a half, the entire time I've been a renter, and I just got a surprise eviction notice without any warning, calls, notices, knocks, or anything. Apparently my payment failed to process even though I had enough money in my account. The only notice I got was one email (that I didn't see) saying the payment failed. Apparently even though we live in an age where you can literally contact anyone at any time, the old inefficient ways of email still reign king somehow. It's a shame that landlords have no legal obligation to provide sufficient notice of failure to pay rent. It's one thing to be evicted knowing you don't have the money and are going to be evicted, but it's a complete other thing where if I hadn't checked my mail, I'd one day have someone knock on my door forcing me out of my apartment even though I had the means to pay my rent, not to mention I would get an eviction on my record that would disqualify me from a lot of places. Before you say anything, this is all completely legal in my state as I have contacted multiple lawyers about this. I paid my stupid overpriced rent today and now the eviction is not happening fortunately.
TL;DR Almost evicted, had the money, but payment failed and they only sent one warning through email and I didn't see it.
