landlord lied on eviction form…what can i do?
My son and I had renting a home semi attached to my landlord for over 2 years. we had very few problems with him aside from a few noise complaints from him…( bachelorette parties and such over the years) I was served an eviction notice for reasons stating that himself and his wife wanted to renovate the home, tear down the wall and create a lager home for themselves using both spaces as one….as i result i had to move in 60 days, so i relocated and found a new place to rent used most of my savings to get the place (first last and movers feees) which i had been saving for that 2 years so i could get the down payemnt money to buy a home. so here i am wayyyyyy behind on many bills living in a place i can barely afford… and savings,…haha forget about it. Now heres the kicker, not even 2 months after he evicted me he puts in new floors and rent s the place out to someone else!! can he do that? lie on the form and force me to move ? Please someone help me out here i don’t know what to do and i feel as if i had been taken advantage of.
