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?

My landlord filed a judgment against me for rent. I paid rent owed before the court date but still owed late fees. I didnt think I needed to go to court and I had called the landlords attorney on 3 seperate occasions without a response. I didnt go to court and later received a notice of a judgment against me. My fault for not going to court anyway. Fast forward about 40 days and I got home 2 days ago after work(6pm) and there was a notice from the Sherriff that I was being evicted the next day at 11am. I called my landord with no response. I called her again the following morning with no answer/no response. I had a meeting first thing and when I got out of my meeting at 10am I had 2 messages from the sherriff thay they were removing my property and thay I needed to get out there with a moving truck. I got there 2 hours later and everyone was gone as were most of my property. Most of the property left was damaged or destoryed. Do I have any rights here? Or is this just how it works?

I was injured on a slippery walkway at my apartment building. As a result I had a broken tailbone. Since the landlord was not agreeable to cover the medical expenses I had to hire a personal injury attorney. Shortly after receiving a letter that my landlord was being sued to cover the costs, he sent me a letter (dated 2/11/2011)demanding I move out by 4/30/11 and if I did not return keys by this date an eviction may be instituted against me. Since living here has been such a horrible experience I had no problem following that letter and made all the necessary plans to move by the end of April. I paid April rent and am ready to go. My lease was due to expire May 31 but I had no problem following his order to move by April 30. His first letter broke the lease but I was fine with that.

Than a few days ago he sends me another letter (duplicate dated 3/31/2011) ordering I move out by 5/31/2011 and say I’m responsible for May rent. There is no way in hell I’m paying another month of rent to live here when he ordered me out April 30 in his first letter.

So I’m worried he can/will try to sue me for May rent. He says the first letter sent on Feb 11th was with the date of April 30 move out was an “error”! So I make plans to move and put money for a new place and turn my life upside down so am I right to say I’m not responsible for May rent since he ordered me out April 30 in his first letter? I still have the first letter.

I had a problem with my ex-landlord. Now I am looking for free professional advice. Actually I am looking for free public attorney.
Thank you

My friend stayed with at my apartment for a few days while I was away on business. My landlord knows he is there and says that I am subleasing. I have explained more then once that he is just house sitting and I assured her there was no contract but, she is now wanting me to speak to her attorney.
