I am a landlord for a trailer park. The property is in foreclosure. The property is owned by a development company. There is attorney calling me and telling me I cannot collect rent b/c of the foreclosure or they will take me to jail. Yet my boss tells me to keep collecting… What should I do? Is the attorney trying to bully me into giving the bank money behind my bosses back? Or am I really in danger of going to jail?

Fyi this is in the state of Florida

They are threatening to evict me for not abiding by my lease. It states in black and white “First full months rent is due and payable not later than November 1.” When I called them and told them what my lease says, they said that there was a mistake and the person was to call me and tell me. The person who I dealt with was not the person who I talked to on the phone and the person on the phone was the person who wrote out my contract. Why did it take them a month to contact me? I went and spoke with an attorney and the attorney agreed that what was stated in my lease is right and the landlord is wrong considering it is a binding contract and they can not go back on their word. The owner of the company called the attorney back and told her that September 1 and October 1’s rent is due no later than November 1 with no late fees attached. But nowhere in my lease does it state anything about the first two months rent due by November 1. Only “First months rent is due and payable no later than November 1.” Now they are threatening a pending eviction on me. I have spoken to another tenant in my building and they let me see their lease and I let them see mine and they agree that what the landlord is doing is wrong. I have also spoken to two different Real Estate Agents and they told me that my lease specifically states rent to be due November 1. I have tried calling my landlord and even gone to talk to the owner and nobody will call me back. The only thing I’ve been responded with is pending eviction. What is going on and what rights do I have as a tenant? Can I sue for breach of contract since my landlord will not speak to me and resolve this matter? HELP!!!!

i own my mobile home, but rent the space my landlord is trying to evict me for no good reason. he is just saying “owner wants possession”. I am current with my lot rent, my yard is clean, all vehicles are fully legal, and i dont owe any thing on my mobilehome. we are quiet people, we dont bother anybody, we keep to our selves, no loud noises, no parties, etc. where can i go for help. i dont have the money to hire an attorney. does he have legal grounds to evict me?

I need the name of a good attorney, that won’t hold back. My commercial landlord evicted me without a court order, falsfified eviction papers, used his “status” in a small town to have the chief of police threaten to arrest me, got my utilities disconnected that were in my name, told the post office to not deliver the business mail and is holding all possessions, including customers vehicles. He then badmouthed me to customers, friends, and vendors and had some of my equipment repossessed. He then falsfiifed a document about a tire business that I purchased stating he purchased it so he could keep the tire equipment. (I have the original purchase agreement) I need an attorney to help me do to this man what he has done to my family. I’m in Southern Indiana. Any help would be much appreciated.

I won a landlord/tenant case against me in Pa. The losing party has filed an appeal. How does one reply to this without an attorney?

2 months ago I reported a mice infestation and the lanlord laid some traps and poison. 2 weeks ago I saw their droppings all over my kitchen and bed!! I told him and he said since his traps had caught nothing, he would bring more poison and more traps. I want him to call a professional exterminator and a professional who will seal all the holes but all he wants to do is lay cheap traps and poison which has NOT worked. I am fed up and want to move but it will cost me . Can I recover the moving costs from him? Here is the RI tenant handbook excerpt. What does “injunctive relief” for the tenant mean?

§ 34-18-28 Noncompliance by the landlord in general. – (a) Except as provided by this chapter, if there is a noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or a noncompliance with § 34-18-22 materially affecting health and safety, the tenant may deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in twenty (20) days, and the rental agreement shall terminate as provided in the notice subject to the following:
(1) If the breach is remediable by repairs, the payment of damages or otherwise and the landlord adequately remedies the breach before the date specified in the notice, the rental agreement shall not terminate by reason of the breach.
(2) If substantially the same act or omission which constituted a prior noncompliance of which notice was given recurs within six (6) months, the tenant may terminate the rental agreement upon at least fourteen (14) days’ written notice specifying the breach and the date of termination of the rental agreement.
(3) The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of his or her family, or other person on the premises with his or her consent.
(b) Except as provided in this chapter, the tenant may recover actual damages and obtain injunctive relief for noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or § 34-18-22. If the landlord’s noncompliance is willful, the tenant may recover reasonable attorney’s fees.
(c) The remedy provided in subsection (b) of this section is in addition to any right of the tenant arising under subsection (a).
(d) If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall return all security recoverable by the tenant under § 34-18-19 and all prepaid rent.

You guys DON’T UNDERSTAND how horrendous it is to find mice poop EVERYWHERE. I find it daily in my food, my shoes, my dishes, inside my beddings, my clothes, my seats. It is DISGUSTING. I have lived like this for TWO MONTHS. How long am I supposed to take these conditions? Surely there has to be some way I can get relief. The landlords’ measures ARE NOT WORKING!!

Long story short, we were given a notice from the city last week telling us that we need to move. I took the notice to a legal aid attorney and he said that we have to leave asap. That the city has condemned the place due to electrical problems. Well we have no where to go so we are staying until we find a room somewhere.Attorney said that should be fine as long as the landlord doesnt come and make us leave. But to find a place asap. My question is, can I sue my landlord for us having to move before our lease is up? Has anyone done this?

My landlord (actually his son-in-law, who now has “power of attorney”) is renovating the parking lot to better serve the business of the nail salon tenants downstairs and is telling me that I have too many vehicles out there. Right now, they are spread out at work and at my mothers, but cannot stay there much longer.

Does he have the right to do this? There is far more than enough room!

I was never told anything about any limitations or restrictions. In fact, there is NO lease or agreement… nothing signed.

What is the best possible action that I could take?
