I haven't received eviction notice but they won't take my money?

Question

I have been living in the same apartment for almost 20 years and have never been late on rent.  I had the money to pay this month but due to traveling, my bank account was frozen and my check bounced so they sent me a 3-Day or quit notice around the 14th on my door.

I called them immediately, informed them of what happened and told them I would pay in a week.  I went to the manager today with a money order to pay but he is refusing to take my money because he claims they have already started the eviction process.  But besides the 3-Day notice I haven't received anything in person or in mail about the eviction order.

I recorded the conversation about them refusing my money, then I went to the post office to send the money order certified over night with a signature to prove that I am trying to pay.  I also have next month's money as well and I am ready to send on the first.

I hear Im suppose to receive an eviction notice in person and I will have 5 days to write my case. Is this true? If so, Im ready to fight because I feel I have a good case:

- Never been late in my history of renting.
-I have 2 jobs of steady income
-My disabled aunt a grandmother live in the same building and I'm here to take care of them.
-Maintenance has not been kept up on the apartment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

wow the thing is i don't understand why they won't take your money thats rude they have to give you a 20 day next thats the law now the situation is take pictures of the apt your in theses will help you state your case the three day they give you is to move or pay the rent late charges also can be charged they have to go to the court to file a eviction this will ask you to be out by a certain time then its scheduled to go to the court then you will get to talk to the judge and the judge will listen to you and make a decision on what he would like you to do make sure you have reciepts to show you paid the money it surprises me that they want to mess you over like this being there for 20 years  it just doesn't make much sense but you want to write everything down that they say and the date they say it the judge will want to know all the specifics make sure you take pictures of the shape your apartment is in he'll want to see it and all your reciepts
