Last Oct I was evicted from my apartment for failure to pay rent. I lost my job and outright didn’t pay more than a portion of one month of the three months I lived there.
Prior to the eviction, some unfriendly women working for the Lend leasing company came banging on my door so loud I jumped out of my skin. I opened the door and 2 women pranced in and continued to insult me and demand I pay them rent money or they would take my things.
They helped themselves to my son’s flat screen television, his xbox 360, his xbox , my stereo, vcr, and dvd player and also another small flat screen television that did not belong to me but to a friend who had temporally stored it there.
They were extremely disrespectful. I in no way confronted them or was hostile but just stood dumfounded and ready to cry. I had recently lost my job along with self esteem and confidence.
I did go to court and did not disagree with the eviction. The day I had to be out I packed my belongings the best I could, knowing the leasing company would physically be removing my belongings from the apartment to the parking lot. The law officer showed up that morning and I asked him if I needed to leave my apartment. He said no stating that i was cooperative. I was in the apartment still packing when I heard loud crashing sounds. I came out to see one of the workers throwing my backback over the ledge of the third floor I lived on. I again almost began crying. One of them said it wasn’t anything breakable. I don’t think the worker realized I was in the apartment when he threw the item. I asked that they please not throw my things in such a manner. I didnt realize untill days later that there was actually breakable items in the backpack which included a pair of binoculars and a chi hair straightener.
I was inside the apartment looking in the phone book for a moving company and one of the Lend ladies entered my apartment began insulting me again stating she couldnt believe I didn’t know where i was going or what i was going to do with my belongings and why was i so irresponsible and I was taking up her men to move my stuff.
Why did these people insist on kicking me when I was down? I am in no shape or form a confrontational person. No, I didn’t pay rent and I was not uncooporative with the eviction.
It has been almost five months I have not payed the money I owe the leasing company. I am going to visit my son in PR this weekend. I also lost custody of him this past year and have not seen him for almost 2 years. He has been asking on the phone about his xbox 360 and it really kills me. Losing my son has been the most painful experience of my life. I know what has happened to me is a result of poor choices on my part but it still really hurts especially when it comes to issues with my son.
Long story short, what happens to belongings that leasing companies take in cases like mine and is there a chance of possibly getting them back.

I’m trying to rescue a Pit Bull. My renter’s insurance policy doesn’t discriminate against any breeds (kudo’s to them!!!) and will cover any damage caused by the dog if anything ever happens. Does my policy override my landlords homeowners policy that says “Breeds of Concern” (which includes Pits) are not allowed?

Would signing a legally-binding contract releasing any and all liability for the landlords work?

I guess I need an attorney…

We just found out Saturday that our landlord is in foreclosure via a letter from an attorney. Monday, the landlord said it was a big mistake and they just hadn’t paid property taxes yet. Checked public records and that turned out to be a lie. Landlord is MIA now. I checked pub records again today and the house was officially posted Monday (after I’d already checked), set to auctioned on April, 7th.
Rent is due on Friday but we need that money to move. When can we move without defaulting on the lease? The Tx Property code says the lease is void once foreclosure TAKES PLACE…Since it’s been posted already is our lease void or do we have to wait until April 7th?
The landlord is a huge liar (confirmed through pub records), and had a suit against him for non-payment of rent / eviction in Nov. Obviously HE was renting a house and defaulted and HIS landlord sued him and won ($8,000). What can we do? We don’t want him suing us for breaking the lease!!
Spoke to a real estate attorney, but he said that we’re basically screwed….

I’ve searched endlessly for something that isn’t copied/pasted legal talk, but I’ve found nothing. I’ll explain my situation below. I’m NOT looking for anything copied from a website. I can google just fine on my own. I need it explained, especially the time lines.

I was recently released from jail to find out (not surprisingly) that I was being evicted for not paying my rent. I was mailed a Summons/Residential, dated August 28, 2008, stating I had five days to respond. Well, I was in jail until after that five day period ended. Now it’s September 11.

Can someone tell me (in english, please) what the next steps against me are, as well as the time I have left? By time left, I’m referring only to the process times. I’m aware that things can take longer to process depending on how busy the courts are. I’m mainly interested in what’s the minimum time I have left.

According to the clerk of courts website, my eviction case is listed as “open”. No dispositions entered, no rulings. Also, I live in Broward county Florida (I’m sure that’s important in determining the applicable laws).

Thanks in advance for anyone with useful information.
I’m not looking to contest it, and I can’t afford to pay it. I will not be able to catch up with the rent at any point. I’m only looking for time frames.
And thanks for actually reading the question. I found that exact process myself.

I need an ANSWER. Not a copied and pasted webpage.

I moved out of my apartment on the date specified by the judge in a court ordered money judgement/possesion.

This was a consent judgement, I showed up for court, and I received the court papers before leaving. I recieved in the mail on yesterday a notice from the property manager dated Oct. 17th, 29 days from the date, I moved out of the apartment. This notice did not have the correct rental unit or vacate date listed, but it has my name as a tenant, no damages were listed BUT they listed a default lease amount for the remainder of the lease if I hadn’t moved.

Is this a valid notice?

It stated that I had 7 days to respond. The information that they have listed on the notice is not accurate. If I reply to this notice, disagreeing with the information contained in the notice, will this classify as admission to what they have stated? Can I dispute the entire validity and authentication of the information listed?

Can I sue them for my security deposit, since they did not technically respond in the time allocated by legislature to act when refunding security deposits? Technically they have not contacted me, since the information listed is not accurate.

Attorneys/Landlord Tenant Law expertise/Property Managers/ or those who have encountered this same situation.

My parents received a summons from the court stating that they are being evicted because of non-payment. However, my parents have the cleared check copies from the bank where it clearly shows that the landlord cashed all of the checks… What can we do? The landlord has hired an attorney should we do the same? Or are my parents okay since they have proof of payment? Thanks in advance!

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.
