Notice to quit rental apartment

[countrygirl12]

Going through this and searchign for an apartment. Dont feel I did anythign wrong but landlord wants unit I am in back for his daughter. havent found anything yet and is taking ages. Have to be out in 2 weeks or risk going throught he courts.Any advice?

Hi, he told me in nov 22nd 2018 and got the 30 day;I tenant at will since 2009; Started packing stuff in boxes and vacated some rooms. i could move back to my father but he wanted me out in first place. even if i move back I would have to give yp my pet cat as his place has no pets policy. Waiting on apt i saw wednesday for cheaper rent but not heard back yet. Taking forever due to my low credit scores. I work two jobs, almost three but was laid off from usps back in 2016 and fell behind;there were some layofffs before that but now on firm grd jobwise. Just wish this was quicker.

If you have known since November of last year then you have had almost 6 months to find somewhere else to go. Your OP makes it sound like he gave you a 2 week notice.  It is HIS property.  It doesn't matter why he wants you out.  If it is for his daughter or whatever.  He owns the property.  It will be harder to find something where they will allow you to have a pet.  I am curious as to why your father does not want you to live with him.

           This situation may not be in your best favor, if they give you a written notice, than they can kick you out of their place. I've seen to many apartment complex's where they place the tenants stuff outside on the ground to vacate the apartment. My advise if this owner/manager is ready for you to move out, get your stuff out asap or you may lose it to others or the weather.

If you have a lease and landlord is breaking, try calling legal aide for assistance or your local housing department at best they might be able to get you into a shelter until you can find something. I hope things work out for you.

If you had a lease and its still active you don't have to leave until it expires...if your lease is expired you're out of luck...

Before I got married a few years ago, I lived in an apartment.  Everything started out just fine but over the years, things went downhill in a hurry. 

I could not wait to get out and when I gave the landlord my notice it was him who was very upset that I was leaving.  Apparently I was a pretty good tenant.  LOL 

Since my departure, almost 7 years ago, there have been about 3 other tenants living at that apt. 

In my case it was the other way around, the landlord wanted me to stay but I could not wait to leave.  It doesn't look as though I will ever have to be in a situation where I will have to rent again and I hope beyond all hope that I never do.

Not much you can do from a legal standpoint based on the information you have provided.

I hope you find a place. Don't give up things always turn out for the best. I was able to find a place in 3weeks. Just stay positive and you will figure something out.

    Hire a good attorney to represent you thru the Courts because you have housing rights too.

Not really a good idea in this case (unless there are other details the OP is leaving out). 30 day notice in November + no long term lease = zero basis to prevent the eviction.  In spending money on an attorney, you are only out even more in the end with no benefit gained for doing so.

No you don't.  It isn't your property. This is one of the reasons I would never rent to anyone. Oh I have rights. I can stay in your house and not pay you rent and just live here because I want to.  YOU DO NOT own the property.  If they tell you to move out then you gotta go.  You can find somewhere else.  If NO ONE in your family will take you in and NO ONE will rent to you then there is a reason why.

If you have a lease agreement I don't see how he can do this unless there is some kind of complaint or there is a problem with late payments

if you have a lease you don't have to

See if you can find a deal for new customers for a storage unit. Put your things in storage and see if you can find an airbnb to rent for a few weeks to a month until you can find a place.

The landlord shouldn't be able to kick you out until your lease ends.
