First, were you served with a notice of eviction or a three (3) day notice to pay or quit? If you were served with the notice to pay or quit and paid what was owed in the stated time period and the money was accepted by your landlord, then you need not move.
However, if you were served with a thirty (30) day notice of eviction and you paid money owed the landlord, there is a chance that the landlord may still want you out of the rental.
I would speak with your landlord about your status of remaining as a tenant in the rental.
If you are late again next month with the rent and assuming the landlord now wants you to stay in the rental, the whole process of you possibly being evicted could start up anew in December 2011.
