But Superior Court Judge Stephen Taylor in Morristown today postponed Patterson’s lockout by at least two more days, ruling he can stay there until Tuesday as he pursues his motion to reconsider his default on the lease, according to attorney Richard Koppenaal.

Patterson has paid $10,000 in rent for August, Koppenaal said, saying that is the true rent figure because the additional $10,000 is actually for the purchase of the home, under an amended lease agreement.

Taylor scheduled a hearing for Tuesday, when Patterson may pursue a motion to dismiss the eviction.

Koppenaal argues the complaint against Patterson should be thrown out because Patterson’s company, Bounty Alert, is listed as the tenant on the lease, but Gorga filed his lawsuit against Patterson personally.

Gorga’s attorney, Frank Catania, was not immediately available for comment. Last month, he claimed in court that Patterson owes a total of $185,000 as he sought his immediate eviction.

Patterson has said his dispute with the Bravo channel stars arose because they failed to make promised repairs on the mansion, after he paid $25,000 for repairs “in lieu of a securitiy deposit.” Patterson has cited numerous problems with the house, including plumbing and heating issues, a leaking ceiling and beavers living in crawl spaces.
