The home we rent was sold to the bank 3 days ago. Our landlord said he will return our August rent and security deposit.
Now we’re just waiting to hear from the bank.
We already know our RIGHTS, but I’m curious to know the experiences of anyone else who has been through this. Our attorney said we could be contacted any day, or it could be months. We were also told some lenders will pay the tenants to move.
Any personal experiences or insights would be great.

I’d recently move out of the area of Norfolk, back to Spotsylvania, due to a eviction form the last place I stood at and staying with a former friend of mine, who was cool for a while, but told her Australian lover friend about me behind me back, saying “he’s not into heavy metal music, he’s acting weird, into the dumb stuff, etc.”, while she was on WEBCAM and I had to stay in a room for (not kidding) 03 hours until I had to come and stuff. Plus, told her that I’ll pay her $100 for letting me stay, but didn’t sign no agreement to it and also put me down at times. I was wondering, did I do the right thing and since I’m no longer there in the area, Norfolk VIRGINIA & Spotsylvania VIRGINIA are two different and jurisdictions, right?

I was late on my rent in April but due the eviction was a conflict with roommate, over tampering with food and drinks (which was 100% false b/c I was never there in the day time) and claim they had me on camera (which also was false, b/c there wasn’t one at all). This led to argumentative confrontation (negative and verbal, plus use of profanity) and the co-landlord siding with the roommate and gave me an eviction notice. Since then, I’d return to Spotsylvania and made a better feeling here (plus, meeting a new person I really enjoy being with and having a great personality, and smile).

Can you help me out here on everything I said here, please?

My landlord has made his intention to evict me clear, and has thus far supplied an illegal 15-day notice (He tried to evict me for not keeping the premises clean, but did not provide the mandatory 7-day notice to fix beforehand). He then accepted another month’s rent, but made it clear his intentions have not changed as “his friend wants to move in by January”.

He has also made it clear he intends to keep my security deposit one way or another, whether it’s in payment for a door he wrongfully believes I broke (I could not have done so, as I was at work when it was broken, and, well, I’m a 5’6″ 95lb girl who had NO visible marks on her hand) or in payment for the elimination of a roach infestation he wrongfully believes I brought in (There were roaches in the house before I moved in).

As such, I have decided to forgo paying this month’s electric bill. Not only do I need the money to afford the deposit and first month’s rent at my new place, but I do not feel that it is a fair split of the bill – one of my roommate’s sons lived on our living room floor for the past three weeks without my consent, and the bill clearly shows an unusual spike in both electrical and water usage consistent with his living there.

As of right now, to evict me he would have to go through the 15-day eviction notice process. However, in light of my not paying the electrical bill, could he change that to a 3-day notice to vacate? As far as I can tell, in Florida the 3-day notice applies solely to the non-payment of rent, and my utilities are not included in my monthly rent payment, but could it, in fact, count? There is no formal lease, only e-mails exchanged between myself and the landlord when I responded to his craigslist ad.

Thank you!

I have a boss that says his attorney said that he has some new leases for him and that he can have it in his lease that the tenant gives up there right to an eviction hearing and that he only needs to give the notice to quit,the only reason I ask is because I like my boss and do not want to see him get himself in trouble because of some misguided information.

Tenant keep paying rent but I need to get back the property
for other purpose. Tenant refuses to vacate. A few month ago
I had a chance to file an eviction in Harris County JP court
since the tenant rent was late. The form I filed is “Petition for
Eviction Based on Non-Payment of Rent”. The tenant paid
rent but still refuse to vacate. I can do nothing since the court
judgment was “Pay or Vacate”.

But I just want the tenant move out. I have sent the tenant
“Tenancy Termination” notice month after month, But it is
useless. I don’t know what Eviction form I need to file
because the only eviction for I can find in the JP court is the
form based on non-payment. Here is the court web site.

Thank you very much.
Thank all of you answered my question. I read the instructions and it does mention eviction suit on over-hold property. But it seems doesn’t provide any suitable form for that. I may try to raise rent 15% next month to see what happens.

Thanks.

because the owner of the apt. is in a rest home with alzheimers and the person she left in charge doesn’t have the power of attorney to spend money and fix it, do you have a right to opt out of your lease.

I have a house in Calgary, Alberta, and I need to evict my tenant. On which site can I find a free form template or whole notice form? The form must apply to Alberta tenancy. Thanks!
The tenant doesn’t have the money to keep on living at the property unfortunately 🙁

I recently evicted one of my tenants that default on her rent payments and I learned a lot on the process and Im wondering if I can offer my services for landlords who need to evict tenants?

I just moved into my own condo, and I’ve been comparing my costs for utilities (gas & water) to what I was paying at my apartment. They were charging me DOUBLE what I’m paying here, plus a $5.00 service fee for the privilege. My usage hasn’t changed.

The complex was fairly large, one of many run by Arnel Management, owned by billionaire George Argyros. Apparently, he can’t afford to individually meter each unit for their usage, so instead, they average out the total costs of water and gas over the entire complex. Each tenant pays according to the size of their unit.

Well, I was in one of their larger units, but I was a single woman! So I was paying the same as the family of 4 or more! Obviously, this isn’t fair, but IS IT LEGAL?

If it’s not legal, what next? Better Business Bureau? District Attorney? Who? This is in the state of California.

the Socialist Equality Party propose as a bridge to socialism?

Universal employment, unrestricted access to quality medical care and education, decent housing, the cancellation of foreclosures and evictions, automatic adjustment of wages in line with inflation, the democratization of the workplace, unrestricted inspection by the public of the financial records of corporations and financial institutions, establishment of restraints on executive salaries, reduction of working hours with no loss of pay, imposition of a genuinely progressive income tax and significant restriction on the transfer of massive personal wealth via inheritance, nationalization and the establishment of democratic workers’ control of large corporations vital to the national and global economy, dismantling of the national “volunteer” army and the transfer of authority to popular militias controlled by the working class and with elected officers, and other demands of a democratic and socially beneficial character.

transitional demands will play an important role in the political mobilization of the working class to the extent that they form part of a broader campaign to develop socialist consciousness. The Transitional Program is not an á la carte menu, from which demands are arbitrarily selected, without the appropriate political context or reference to broader political goals. If the Transitional Program is to serve as a bridge to socialism, the destination cannot be kept a secret from the working class.

How would they react to real socialist consciousness in the American people?
