Re: Will i get evicted
You should submit a statement to the court indicating that you and the landlord have resolved the problem and that you are now current on the rent.
That may avoid a possible default judgment. If the landlord wishes to go forward, the court will likely, after receiving such a letter, set a new date and inform you of the action.
If by some chance there is a default judgment against you, go to the court and ask for a re-opening.

You probably don't need to go, but you may want to just to make sure nothing funny happens. It depends how much you trust your landlord.
