When Postell did not answer promptly, the landlord on June 22 began an action for summary possession predicated upon a refusal to pay rent. Postell was aware that the accompanying summons required his appearance in court on July 12, for in a letter enclosing the July rent — which Queen received early that month — he restated his reasons for not paying the disputed portion of the May rent, but offered to compromise by paying the sum of $33.63. The letter stated that if Queen was still dissatisfied, he would “see [her] in court on July 12th.”
