He wasn't supposed to tell me this, but he said that if she cannot come up with however much she owes in 9 days the bank is repossesing the house and evicting anyone who lives there. He has tried calling her home and cell and mailing her at her address and she has failed to contact him back. This is so unfair to my fiance and I because we pay our rent on time along with our other bills and now basically have a week to find a new place or pray to God our landlord pays off her back debt. Great timing with the holidays around the corner eh?
So my question is, what can be done on our end to prevent this? Or is there nothing we can do except pack like crazy people and find a new home in 9 days time. Also what legal actions can be done on our end towards our landlord for putting us in this position? I feel we should have at least been notified that there was an issue and to be completely blindsided like this is so wrong in many ways. I literally feel sick to my stomach and want to just cry. I am in freak out panic mode right now. |
Well if you're landlord is like that I would find a new place to live. But they can't put you out in 9 days. First of all they would have to go to court. It would be 30 days after they file just to get a court date. Then after the Judge hears the case, they have to give you at least 30 days to move. So now your talking around 2 months or so. Not sure what you can do to the Landlord, they might have to pay your moving expenses, but again, I'm not really sure. At this point I would look for a new place, or if you do like it there, talk to that Landlord and find out whats going on.
Best of luck to you
