If you are behind in your rent then the Landlord and kick you out. There are many legal requirements related to notice, how many days you can stay, what happens to furniture youleft there, and so forth.

That doesnt seem right at all.

Do you happen to know what a tenant can do when the landlord has won his 'writ' and still lets the tenant stay? I have an odd case going on here and just trying to get some insight.

thx...

It is according to the local township or city laws of tenant landlord. A month to month lease still requires a written notice from one side or the other with a specific move out time alloted.


To Strayeagle1; Once you recieve a writ of execution, it will come with a time period for you to vacate (10) days or so. The fact that they have not executed it does not give you any time. Any second a sheriff could knock on your door and lock you out. My sugestion is move.

You put yourself in a real hard place...

First of all I have no clue why you would have even let her stay with you for a few weeks, unless you had hashed out a deal to knock off part of your rent. They would be running up your electric, water, sewage, and other bills, not to mention additional stress of having extra people in the house.

Second, whoes idea was it for you to go to a hotel? Did you go on your own or did she request that you vacate for that time? If you went on your own, then you would be liable for the hotel bill, and rent, and any damages THEY might have done to the house since it is technically in your care. If she requested that you leave for a hotel, she should be paying the hotel bill, or the rent depending on which would be more.

If you were behind in your rent to begin with...and have been having any other troubles with you r landlord, this may be how they figured they could get rid of you.

All I can advise is try Judge Judy...rofl.

Is the original post even real? Sorry if it is but who on earth would let their landlord live with them. Secondly, what kind of landlord is such a loser that they would even ask to stay in a residents home.

This is just nuts! Pay your rent, give notice and get a copies and throw his/her stuff and the kids out of your apartment and get a witness to back you up in case the psycho tries to pull something. End of story.
