What is a leasing manager authorization to set a payment plan with a tenat to avoid an eviction?
Yesterday I received a summons to go to court for failure to pay rent. However, yesterday was also the scheduled court date. Since I did not get the notice in time to go to court, I spoke to the leasing manager about the issue and she stated that they would be willing to work with me. That I should pay whatever I can now and we can come up with an agreement for the rest to be paid. If I pay her any amount of money will this stop the current legal proceedings and is she authorized to do this?

Most likely the leasing manager who is the agent for the landlord is authorized to work with you in curing your default as to moneys owed the landlord so as to prevent your eviction.
I suggest that you enter into a written agreement with the leasing manager stating that you can remain in the unit that you are renting pending the payment of owed money to the landlord over a set period of time. Make sure you get the agreement signed and dated by the property manager with reference that he or she is authroized to bind the landlord.
