About a year ago I did not get along with my boyfriend very well so we broke up and I signed a room mate release form with my signature, his signature, and the complex’s manager signature on it. After we broke up, he got evicted like 4 months later. Now I get a collection notice in the mail saying that I owe them money for the eviction too! I call the complex and they say that the form we signed together did not mean anything, regardless to the fact that I no longer lived there when my ex-roomate! Does that make sense to anybody??? I thought a contract was a contract?
in the room mate release it says that I am no longer responsible for any rent or damages and it is the remaining resident’s responsiblity

I won a case in a rental dispute against my landlord. Within days her attorney had a lien in place against me, without informing me or my attorney. My attorney at that time has since moved away. Is there a way for me to remove this now?

I have know this guy for years. We decided to started dating and formed a really good relationship.We have been together for 10 months.

In Nov. he got laid off from him dream job due to downsizing and now he is depressed. So depressed that he doesn’t eat or sleep properly. I try to be supportive as possible. but i am a single mom and don’t have much to give . After a long day at the office, dealing with my five year old. I often need some TLC myself. he is so down and out he is running on empty.
he is the best guy I ever met. respectful, supportive, helpful, disciplined etc…
but he refuses to take just any job and is working on building up his own business and while it is slow he is doing quite well. (meanwhile the bills are piling up and he is facing eviction.)

How long do I stick around? I genuinley believe he cares for me as much as I do him but his depression and the lack of attention has me wanting to bail. How long do i stick around? I need love too!

Please advise

I have been subletting my apartment from an individual for over a year. As it turns out, for the last five months he has not been paying the landlord the rent I have been giving to him (he also has my security). It amounts to nearly $8000. Should I file a civil claim against him? A fraud claim? Both? The landlord’s attorney is threatening to come after me for the back rent. I would like to get as much of the rent from him and pass it on to the landlord, it would make me feel a lot better about the situation. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am moving out of the apartment at the end of the month, so I am not really concerned about being evicted. I just don’t want this coming back to me.

I have 2 evictions on my credit report. 1 of them is from NY in feb 2007 and the other was in MA in july 2009. The one form NY was all court fees. We moved to MA because we couldn’t pay the rent anymore. My wife was not working and she was pregnant, and i lost my job. So we just up and moved to MA (where im from). About 2 years later i lost my job again and we just up and moved to CA. We had so much debt under our belt so we claimed chap 7. I know my/our credit is completely shot. We needed a co-signer to get the apt where we are living now. My wife wants to move to a more child friendly area, but everywhere we look they do not accept anyone with evictions, not even with a co-signer. Are we stuck here for the next 7 years or is there a way to get the evictions off of our credit? Due to the bankruptcy, we do not owe anything anymore, including the 2 apts where we got the evictions. Someone please show me the way so get out of this mess……….

I am about to file a writ of garnishment of wages against my tenant, since I have a court order, properly executed eviction, etc. However, I have 2 questions:
1) on the form, I am supposed to put the last known address of this guy. Well, he moved without telling me where he was going nor a working phone number. What address am I to put?
2) Other than filing for bankruptcy or proving that he can’t survive on his current salary (which I doubt, because he is a store manager, and it’s not like I’m taking a huge amount from him per paycheck), how else can he avoid paying me? I know he has 30 days from the initial writ to challenge, but after that? And on what grounds can he challenge the writ, anyway? He lost the initial decision in court anyway, which led to his eviction, and this is just the final step.

I received a letter a saying the house I rent may be sold to forclosure on 09/01/09. I called the attorney listed in the letter on 09/08 and was told the property was sold.

I have a new letter stating the property was sold and I would need to vacate the property. Since I am renting, I have 90 days to vacate if I can provide copy of my lease.

I contacted my landlord, he denies everything. Says he know nothing about the letter, nothing about foreclosure. I also received a visit from another individual who says they are on the original loan and came by the see who is occupying the property. I know he was unsure about some things because he was fishing for information.

Do I believe the landlord or the attorney, how do I double check to see what is what?

I think it kinda fits the current situation…

And yes there is a little truth to it aswell…

In Court papers my landlord claimed that my family and myself were squatters & moved into his property illegally, prior to the court he brought the sheriffs to throw us out but they instead informed him of following proper procedures, he has turn the water off, cut the lights and a lot of other stuff, just recently he was caught looking through the window while I was getting dressed after a shower.
The judge dismissed 2 of LL cases, there’s been 3 stating I was a squatter,the landlord and his attorney cancelled the other one. But, now I have another court paper stating that I am a month to month tenant and owes him rent and he wants me evicted. I have the money orders for him but he refused it. I have found another place and will be moving out by tomorrow, I will also take the money orders to court. Can I file a lawsuit against my LL claiming that I was a squatter and now he states I’m a monthly tenant. There are people waiting to move in and they are also calling me a squatter.
I was renting without a lease with the landlord legally, paid rent until February when the landlord stopped taking the rent. I have the money orders dated for feb and mar.
estielmo, you have it all wrong.
I did move in with the LL approval, he and my husband do not agree and he wants us out.
He claimed I was a squatter as wanted the cops to kick us out.
I have all utilities turned on, I did make complaints to the code dept and the utilities was turned back on after they got involved.
I am moving on, but it was kind of difficult to find another house with a lot of kids. I have my brother and sister kids, as they are in Iraq in the war, plus my own kids and my step kids, so it took a long time to find any place, we have since bought a house and will be closing on 4/1/08, so i am out. I still have the last two months rent for him in the form of money orders dated, 2/1 and 3/1.. But on second though i may just keep it as he has my security deposit which was a total of 2 months rent combined. It will take a lot to go into all the details o i tried and made it short and now i am being ridiculed by the readers for not moving.. All I asked was can I sue him
