If you received an eviction notice even though you paid your rent don’t panic, and follow these tips;

  1. First, check whether the notice was properly served and whether the landlord followed all the required legal procedures. If the notice was given without following the law, courts may throw out the eviction.

  2. Make sure you have documented proof of your rent payment bank statements, receipts, cancelled cheques or digital payment confirmation. 

  3. If the landlord accepted payment (or attempted to accept it) but still served a notice, that’s often a strong defense.

  4. For example, a lawyer commenting on a similar case advised reviewing whether the “notice to vacate was given in strict compliance with the Property Code.”

  5. If the notice was legally deficient or incorrectly served, you may be able to challenge the eviction or even have it dismissed, especially if the eviction is based solely on “non-payment” when payment was already made.

  6. Also, consider whether there’s any other dispute at play such as a payment-processing error or misapplied fees.

  7. It’s worth writing to the landlord (or their agent) demanding clarification and a written statement acknowledging the rent payment. 

If that fails, consult a lawyer to understand your rights and prepare a defense, especially if you need to appear in court.
