Judgment AFTER full payment of rent and fees?
My rent is due on the 1st, late after the 5th. I was served with a Detainer Warrant on 4/25 for non-payment of April's rent. The only notice I rec'd prior to the detainer warrant was a notice saying my rent was late and late fees were now also due and please pay to keep my lease in effect.
I paid the rent and all late fees in full on 4/29 but the landlord refuses to take the case off the docket still seeking some sort of judgment (case set for 5/2). Can he still get a judgment of some sort or evict me now that everything is paid in full?
I live in Tennessee.
PS. There is a clause in my lease that says "If Lessor files a legal detainer against Lessee, and subsequent thereto accepts rent or other payment from Lessee, said acceptance of payment by Lessor shall not operate as any waiver or relinquishment of any rights to proceed with the legal detainer action and evict Lessee from the leased premises and obtain a judgment against Lessee for the balance owed".
I don't know if that clause sticks me with a judgment and/or eviction even though I'm paid in full and The Landlord Tenant Act seems to say otherwise.
