I received the papers 2 weeks ago that our bank is foreclosing on our home. I have not received any additional information, but we are not fighting the foreclosure. The truth is we can not afford our home due to my husband’s job loss. How long do we have before we are evicted, and what is the notification process for this eviction? Can they just show up unannounced and throw us out? I am clueless. Thank you.

I moved out of my apartment May 24th and still have not recieved my security deposit. My lease says the landlord shall return the security deposit in “reasonable time.” As I understand it, her husband is an attorney therefore the lease is very secure. Anyway, I (and my roomates) have contacted her several times already. She responded the first time stating that the checks would be mailed the week of June 11th. She lives in Texas so I gave it more than enough time to arrive (over a week) and it still hadn’t come. I then emailed her again and she said that she had just recieved our last water bill and she would send the checks along with copies of the water bill after processing that. (For our last water bill, which gets sent to her, she deducts the amount of the bill from our sec. deposit which was agreed upon at a previous time). Anyway, that was almost three weeks ago. It seems that she keeps making excuses, is there anything I can do because contacting her is not working.
I forgot to mention I am a college student living in a college town in new york. My landlord lives in texas and we have had nothing but problems with her since we moved in.
I just emailed her again and she apologized for the delay stating she has been out of town. she said she will mail the check tomorrow. 🙂 hopefully she’s sincere this time.

I have a new tenant that just moved in and has been there for two weeks only. She has no furniture and has a puppy in there that was not on the contract and a guest (boyfriend) that is keeping his vehicle in the garage and the place is dirty and dishes every where & she has two little boys that are sleeping on the floor. She has destroyed my garage door and I had to put a new one on for $350. She does not have anything on the move In Inventory form that there was anything wrong with it and it was all tore up at the bottom. The only thing I can figure is that is got caught on the boyfriends vehicle because the whole bottom was torn off. She said it was rotted. I went to make a repair on a small hole behind the door and that I when I saw the condition of the place & the unauthorized pet in there & the boyfriend sleeping there. I went home to get my camera and came back and took pictures. She has also left the two & seven year old boy by their selves because it was called to my attention by two repair men that were replacing the garage door & fixing the A/C heater. She filed a Police report on me for harassment. I posted an Eviction Notice on her door and now she is sending me E-Mails requesting her money back and she will leave. Should I go ahead with the formal Eviction? I am in Austin, Texas.
She paid $775 for the two weeks rent and a partial security deposit of $388. Real Estate agent got 80% of the first months rent. The rest was suppose to be paid by March 1, 2010. A total of $2325. First & last months rent and the deposit had to equal the rent.
