Tenant wanted to pay to the courthouse by vkk on August 16, 2019 @15:19

Long story short. The tenant refused to pay the rent to me because of all these nonsense issues. She said she is going to pay to the courthouse.

The issue like she is accusing of the other unit of tenants living in too many people, people harass her etc..

My question is, paying to the courthouse? Is there such process? how could that work out?

Yes, there are processes in place in many states where, if a person wins a judgement, a judge may order the loser to pay the monetary sums to the court house to be sure the winner gets paid. Usually it happens in eviction proceedings where the LL is owed rent. To make both parties happy, if the tenant wishes to remain in their home/apartment, they must pay the rent owed, in cash, by a certain date and time, (usually 3-5 days later) into the court. The court holds the money for the LL until they can come and get it. If the T doesn't pay by the date and time specified by the judge, the LL is granted the eviction. Remember, your 3 day notice said to pay rent OR move. The T did neither, which is why you, the LL, are now asking the Judge to make them pay rent, or move.
