I have question on reopen eviction case for a nonpayment tenant.
My tenant just pay first month of rent, now is the 4 months. I filed a eviction case, I was granted on MOTION FOR DEFAULT FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR AND JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION. and Notice of Judgment or Disposition was issue from court, which ordered the tenant move out in 5 days or deposit full amount of back rent to clerk.
After 5 days of Judgement, I was told the tenant filed "a Motion of reopen" and was granted by clerk.
Kindly ask if this is typical or unusual process?
What should I do?
Are there any reason can normally grant to reopen a judged case?
The tenant once complain of some things need to repair. and have little baby. are these the reason can reopen the case?

The court should have a copy of what the tenant gave them to support the case being reopened, ask the court for a copy of that paperwork. Go to the court house, bring your paperwork and ask court clerk to look up case file for what was filed.
