This is my third post about this matter and I really appreciate everyones advise. As you may or may not know, we made the mistake of locking in a tenant into a 3 year lease that has been horrible from day one – that are aggressive, vicious, constantly causing trouble and are very clearly trying to get money out of us. We recently had a situation with the heating of the house that we fixed within 24 hours. Since then, we have sent them TWO certified letters in the mail, none of which they have signed for.
The most recent is an important letter stating that they are in breach of contract. Per the advise of people on this board, we sent them a letter after they REFUSED to confirm the names and number of people living in our house. We have the original names from when they first moved in on the lease but our township recently sent us a form that they wanted filled out w this info (and we are suspicious that someone else is living there anyway). They refused to give us this info and we sent them a letter stating they have a week to get back to us with the name and until then they are in breach of contract. The next step I am assuming would be to send them an eviction notice but at this point, knowing how vicious they are, I’m scared. Every time someone goes to the house, they scream and yell and intimidate them. If they aren’t accepting our letters, what can we do? Essentially they won’t let us communicate with them (despite the fact that they constantly send US letters).
What should we do? They are very much so after us and since they are pretty poor, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have played this game before to bring someone to court. What does one do when they don’t sign for letters? If we evict them, do they have to move out? How can they refuse to give us this basic information?
Please advise on what we should do next:( Thanks so much!

We moved into a mobile home park in october 07. In January of 07 a rule was passed that no dogs over 40 pounds are to reside in the park. However, they let us move in with a 75 pound dog which is very well mannered 1/2 golden/1/2 Australian Shepherd. He is our sons dog and once our son moved to the country he took him. We were wanting another puppy and was blessed with a 6 week Golden Retriever. Now their saying we can’t keep him because he will be over 40 pounds. A Doberman, Grey Hound, Chocolate Lab and other over 40 pound dogs reside here and they say its because their Grandfathered in. We are facing eviction if we do not get rid of our puppy. I see no fairness in this situation and I am home with this puppy most of the time. Other rules are being broken in the park as well like motorcycles (rules state no motorcycles) & people living with family members who are not registered and back ground checked. I don’t care what everyone else is doing it is their business. I am just wondering if this is a form of discrimination. Help! Our neighbors all disagree with the parks decision too. They are witness to us keeping very good control of our pet. Please I need input! Meanwhile we are looking for a place as I am not getting rid of our Golden!
The rulel went into effect in Jan. 07 and they let us move in on Oct. 07 with our 75 pound dog. How could this be grandfathered legally?

I am going through an eviction process due to the lies that my landlord filed against me. I am appealing this evection but my attorney is not representing me in any way shape or form. at the inital hearing the lawyer told the judge that she didnt think that there was anything she could say to keep the land lord from evicting me and she said she didnt understand the charges that the landlord claimed I owed her so the judge granted possesion of the apartment and the money that she was suing me for. I have had continus harrassment from the landlord that has been directed at both myself and my 8 year old son. just recently I was given a notice that the apartments were going to be inspected on 03/09 it did not give a time. While I was in the shower they were pounding onmy door and then they let themselvs in. Once I heard their voices I told them to get the hell out of the apartment that I was in the shower. They contuined with their inspection as well as sending the repair man in to the bathroom while I was in the shower to see if the faucet was leaking. I repeadtly told her to get out of the apartment and she said that it was not my apartment and contuined with the inspection. When I got out of the shower I called the police and told them I wanted to press charges. They took my statement and said they were going to talk to her. She told them I was not in the shower I was in my bedroom screaming for her to get out and that I threatned to kick her ass if Ishe didnt. I opene the door and I asked her how she could straight out lie like that. At this time there was a third cop there who had not taken my statment and he told me he was not going to let me pres charges and that if I wanted somthing done to call my attorney which is what I did and she told me she couldnt do anthing. I called back to speak to the attorneys supervisor and I was told she was in charge and there was no one above her. I dont know what to do she lies about everything and everyone believes her because she tells them I am trying to get back at her for evicting me. If that was the case I would be making complaints to the police all the time for what she dose but I dont I just sit back and take it because no body believes me and I just dont know what to do. I have tried calling her boss but they wont take my calls my attorney wont represent me and I dont know where to go to file a complaint if the police wont let me file one.

o.k. we are renting to own from my father, on christmas morning we were watching my sisters dog “who lives with him” and the dog bit my husband making him go to the hospital for infection and a tetnis shot. My father finds out about the bite and get’s mad at us and tell us to get out of HIS house and says he’s going to have us put in prison “nonsense” and have our children taken from us, Yes this really stemmed from a dog bite. So now he’s served us with an eviction notice and to me it seems stupid because we’re paying his mortgage payment to the lady he’s financing this place through and we have homeowners insurance on the place that he wanted us to carry on the house because WE were buying it from him. So this just baffles me because it doesn’t seem legal because it’s a form of retaliation??????? please help cause I’m looking into getting a good lawyer
just so you know we didn’t harm the dog what so ever
also we have tried to finance but he kept telling us to wait on it, also we stay because everything we have has gone into this house in remodeling it, not to mention the labor, why should we have done it all for free if he was never gonna sell it to us?

My husband is from the U.K. and he moved over to the U.S. almost four years ago and we’ve been here ever since. We have two children now as well and life is not going very well over here. In fact we were given our second eviction notice and we need to go back to the U.K.

We are currently trying to figure out the spousal visa process to get myself (I’m a U.S. citizen) and our two children to the U.K to live permanently. We have read that if we don’t have any physical money that we will need someone to support us over there.

How does this work? Can we move over to Britain without having the form signed to have someone support us? We will be staying with my husband’s grandparent’s till my husband gets a job which he will start looking for immediately upon landing and then getting our own house, but of course we need support in that meantime.

Any advice would be BRILLIANT right now. We are panicking right now. We literally have one try at this right now. We are waiting for my two son’s passports to come back and our Federal income tax return to pay for flights, visas and baggage. . . . thank you so much!
We do live in the poorest part of the country. We live to the south and live in Oklahoma and my husband is having a hard time getting a job here. Not because he’s not qualified. He has an associate and bachelors in I.T. and no one will employ him. Not even Mcdonalds. We have no choice right now. We are being evicted and we have no where to go. No where and my family is not there to support us here. My husband is skilled and in Britain they will recognize his degrees unlike here.

I had an apartment and when i was layed off in december my unemployment checks were not enough to pay rent. I told my situation to my landlord, and also managed to find a job by the end of February and explained to them when i could pay them. The eviction process had already been started but they said they would work with me on paying them back but they wanted all the money in one shot or none of it at all. i came home 3 days later and found a 24hour eviction notice. i need to find another place but i dont think anyone will rent to me with an eviction on my record. Will my only option to get a place be to live in a bad, rundown area or can i find a decent place?? I live in Florida, if that helps…
I was able to pay rent in december and january. I couldnt for feb. march. i was evicted april 3rd i believe.

My hours have been cut at work , I have money in a TSA that I’m trying to withdraw to pay my bills and when things get better replace it for retirement.
Apparently the law changed this year and I can only withdraw based on hardship, I’m falling behind on my rent and I received a notice from the Association stating that rent must be brought up to date.
I submitted this letter with a hardship form and I’m told that unless the letter says that I will be out on the street unless I pay I can’t withdraw money. I was told by my financial advisor to find a way to get a threatening letter of eviction so that they stop giving me excuses and release the money.
Any ideas???

My SIL is a terrible example of a mother, IMO. She is lazy, doesn’t clean up (has been evicted several times and kicked off of the state housing authority) due to this issue, has never taught her soon to be 14 year old daughter correct hygeine in any way shape or form. My Niece is a sweet girl but she does not wear deodorant, brush her teeth (which she has now over 13 cavieites and gum disease), bath regularly, change her under clothes daily anytime of the month, is overweight for her size (me too though so…), she also tells the tales of her “friends” who seem to do just about anything that is brought up in a conversation for example ( my friend-no real name given- sky dived and had a great time). There would be no concievable way this would happen around here most likely. Her mom did finally get a job at Wal-mart but she since her last eviction is living with her friends and they have a daughter who is bipolar and currently they were told not to stay because she had a fit, whatever.
