    I'm being evicted.
    I received a 7 day leave the premises notice on May 2, 2009 On May 28 I received a clerk of courts paper saying I was guilty of forcibly keeping the apartment and was given a date of June 4, 2009 to vacate. This is Kentucky and I was wondering if I have a right to be at court because we were not given a court date. This is for non payment, can they evict us without our having the right to go to court?
    THANK YOU

    Hello c:

    No, they can't. Go to the court where the notice is from and tell them you never were served.

    I'm not sure - from reading the Kentucky site - that the landlord needs to schedule a hearing. It would appear (again, I'm not in Kentucky and only know what I just read) that your response should have been to the 7 day notice.

    Do you owe rent? It would appear that under that condition you simply get the 7 day notice and if you don't respond, you are evicted, sort of automatically.

    If someone reads this in a different fashion, please post -
