If I have been served an eviction notice for non-payment of rent/deposit, can I still be evicted if I remit the entire amount?
The deadline is in 2 days. If I [ay the entire amount owed, plus rent for next month, can I still be evicted in 2? I cannot reach my landlord but I have the account numbers that I put my rent into.

Based upon what you have written, you were served with a three (3) day notice to pay rent or quit. Under the laws of all states in this country, if you comply with the request and make the demanded payment timely, you are entitled to remain in the premises. Make sure you get a receipt for any overdue rent paid from the landlord.
