I’m trying to rescue a Pit Bull. My renter’s insurance policy doesn’t discriminate against any breeds (kudo’s to them!!!) and will cover any damage caused by the dog if anything ever happens. Does my policy override my landlords homeowners policy that says “Breeds of Concern” (which includes Pits) are not allowed?

Would signing a legally-binding contract releasing any and all liability for the landlords work?

I guess I need an attorney…

We just found out Saturday that our landlord is in foreclosure via a letter from an attorney. Monday, the landlord said it was a big mistake and they just hadn’t paid property taxes yet. Checked public records and that turned out to be a lie. Landlord is MIA now. I checked pub records again today and the house was officially posted Monday (after I’d already checked), set to auctioned on April, 7th.
Rent is due on Friday but we need that money to move. When can we move without defaulting on the lease? The Tx Property code says the lease is void once foreclosure TAKES PLACE…Since it’s been posted already is our lease void or do we have to wait until April 7th?
The landlord is a huge liar (confirmed through pub records), and had a suit against him for non-payment of rent / eviction in Nov. Obviously HE was renting a house and defaulted and HIS landlord sued him and won ($8,000). What can we do? We don’t want him suing us for breaking the lease!!
Spoke to a real estate attorney, but he said that we’re basically screwed….

I’ve searched endlessly for something that isn’t copied/pasted legal talk, but I’ve found nothing. I’ll explain my situation below. I’m NOT looking for anything copied from a website. I can google just fine on my own. I need it explained, especially the time lines.

I was recently released from jail to find out (not surprisingly) that I was being evicted for not paying my rent. I was mailed a Summons/Residential, dated August 28, 2008, stating I had five days to respond. Well, I was in jail until after that five day period ended. Now it’s September 11.

Can someone tell me (in english, please) what the next steps against me are, as well as the time I have left? By time left, I’m referring only to the process times. I’m aware that things can take longer to process depending on how busy the courts are. I’m mainly interested in what’s the minimum time I have left.

According to the clerk of courts website, my eviction case is listed as “open”. No dispositions entered, no rulings. Also, I live in Broward county Florida (I’m sure that’s important in determining the applicable laws).

Thanks in advance for anyone with useful information.
I’m not looking to contest it, and I can’t afford to pay it. I will not be able to catch up with the rent at any point. I’m only looking for time frames.
And thanks for actually reading the question. I found that exact process myself.

I need an ANSWER. Not a copied and pasted webpage.
