Default Landlord says "OK You're Evicted". . now what?

We're 1 month back on our rent--plus fees. Landlord and my husband had words this afternoon over a previous disagreement AND the current rent situation and she says "OK You're Evicted, I'm done with this". She says she'll be back for the rent tomorrow (I don't have it, but am trying to think of ways of getting it). Assuming I am unable to pay the rent by tomorrow. . .what's the next step. She'll have us served, I'm assuming, but what happens after that? (We're in Idaho, by the way)

The house is clean, the yard is fine. . .the condition of the property is not in question . . . it's simply a matter of money (I've been out of work since January). I honestly doubt, with the area's current housing market, that she'll get a tenant too quickly--it sat vacant for 5 months before we moved in. I have no idea what to do.

So. . .how long do we have before we have to get ourselves out of here?

If rent is not paid when due, the LL will serve a 3 day Pay or Quit notice. You will have 3 days to pay the rent or leave the premises. If you fail to do either, she will file for eviction. If she serves the Pay or Quit this weekend, she can file for eviction by Thursday. You do not want her to file an eviction against you. Borrow the money, sell something (blood, items from your house, something), get a new job, or move out. If she files eviction it will remain on your record for years for any future LL (or anyone else) to see. You will have a hard time finding decent housing after that since no LL wants a tenant who has been recently evicted.

You will get a paper from the court telling you of the hearing date and sometimes asking for your response to the eviction filing. Show up at the hearing or the LL wins automatically. After she is granted possession, you will have only a couple of days before the sheriff or bailiff puts your belongings out on the street. Expect to get the Pay or Quit notice this weekend. In many places this is considered served by merely posting it to your door or handing it to you. You need to find that money for the rent now or start packing. I'm sorry but there is no easy answer here.
