Question: Ilived in a house for seven years and was wrogfully evicted because the landlord wouldnot fix the septic which was over flowing running under my house which was beyond toxix and smelled bad on the whole block.

Answer: As a general rule, a residential tenant may only file a motion to set aside an eviction judgment within 60 days or within a reasonable time (depending on the basis of the motion) after the judgment is entered (RPEA Rule 15) and may only appeal an eviction judgment within 5 days after the judgment is entered (RPEA Rule 17).
