If the basis of the eviction was unpaid back rent, then the landlord probably cannot evict now. If they filed arent and possession suit, and then accepted payment of all back rent, they judge will likely refuse to give them judgment for anything. If you are late again, or otherwise violate your lease, they may be able to start the evcition process anew. If you have a court date coming up, you should consult direclty with a landlord tenant attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. Get legal advice specific to the facts of your situation, and dopn't just rely on the general explaination here, that is predicated upon your generalized posting.

Good luck
