My daughter broke her lease now her landlord is hitting me up for months missed in paying. I received a civil suit asking me to pay back months and damage. Can I call this landlord and discuss the problem or just go though the court?

Debts are settled before the court date all the time. If you do work something out get it in writing that they will drop the lawsuit if you make the agreed upon payments, and then either confirm with the court that it has been dropped, or show up at the scheduled hearing to confirm that they don't try to proceed and get a judgment anyway. Please read our pages on being sued. Hope this helps!
