My landlord listed the house for rent while myself and kids still live here.?

Question

It wasnt until July4th when she called me and told me that she want me out by the end of the month, and if i am not out by the 31st she will be filing with the county courts. I then went on the gosection8.com website and she listed the house for rent prior to letting me know. And then she sent me a email today letting me know that she is showing the house tomorrow evening while myself and the kids are here, I am not even done packing. I truly dont know what I can do at this point. I was reading my lease and it states that she can show the house if it was up for sale.

Answer 1

Sounds like your being evicted for non-payment of rent or habitual lateness on rent. Either way...kiss your section 8 status goodbye if the eviction goes through.



Also, she has every right to show her property for sale if proper notice is given.

Answer 2

What kind of lease do you have month to month? She has to give you 30 days notice and in some areas 60 days notice. She has every right to start screening new tenants. Why does she want you out? It will be very hard to find section 8 housing since the lists are long.



Added who on earth is the thumbs down freak most of the replies, except the really stupid ones are correct nd why I ask what kind of lease you had.



With your added info she is in violation and you have a legally binding contract (better know as a lease) until February 2010. The fact that she allows you to continually catch up, if that is the way you pay all the time, means she is accepting that arrangement so she would never stand up in court UNLESS you have been late every single month you have been there and a myriad of other issues.



Again just giving up and moving would not be an option for me if I had a lease with several months left because I would know that I would NEVER instantly get section 8 housing again with out a 1-5 year wait in my area. However, ONLY YOU know everything that is going on in this situation and she may very well have cause to toss you out.

Answer 3

based on your post, she is wrong.



First, if you signed a one year lease in Feb, she can't just have you move.



2nd, she has to give you 30 day's notice, effective the first of the month. So if she gave you 30 days notice on July 4, it becomes effective on August 1 and you have to be out by August 31. You also have to pay August rent (and July's).



3rd. She has no right to show the property. You have the right to quite enjoyment. This is a legal right. Unless there is an emergency, or you have agreed in the lease, SHE HAS NOT RIGHT TO ENTER THE PLACE. As long as you have paid your rent and haven't broken the lease.



4th. She is blowing hot air about court. Anyone can sue, but not everyone wins.



I would recommend that you pay your rent on time and tell her that you have a lease until ___ (whenever it ends). At which time you will move. Unless she wants to pay YOU to break the lease.



You have rights. I would talk with your section 8 people first think in the morning.

Answer 4

OK, LL can list house for rent while tenants are still in it, but NOT in middle of lease.

If this is Section 8 housing, go talk to your housing counselor.

Is your rent current? SEction 8 won't give approval for another tenant if she isn't treating you right.

If you have lease, LL cannot tell you to just move out. You have rights, and lease sets time when you have to move out, when lease ends. Even without a written lease, you need 30 days advance notice. LL must give you 24 hours notice in advance of showings, and if there is serious problem with showing you need to contact the LL. You being still in house is OK, still packing is OK. LL did not have to give you an option of month to month. If she said you couldn't break your lease, what is going on now???

LL can show house if it up for sale or when your lease is ending.



You're NOT giving us all the information here. Why is LL telling you to get out without giving 30 days notice? So you paid the July rent in full, but late (yesterday)? Let her file in the courts, because If she files in the courts, you won't have to be out until late August, or end of August. So don't let LL PUSH you without reason. Of course if she gets court ordered eviction that hurts your ability to get another place.



Anyway, calm down, talk to Section8 counselor, get legal advice, etc.

Answer 5

I think it's YOUR business. I don't think anyone has a right to ask you or to discriminate against you. The only thing they need to know about you is your ability to pay the rent and perhaps your criminal background (if any). If you want to tell them, that's a different story, I wouldn't care personally if my tenant was gay, but I guess some ignorant bigots may. But, I still think that's your private bedroom business, it won't be any more awkward than if your roommate brings a girl home in my opinion.

Answer 6

Are you Section 8?



Honey, as long as she is taking money from Section 8 SHE CANNOT ask you to leave.



Call HUD and tell them what she is doing.



Yes, she can sell the house, but your lease is legally enforced until it ends. If you signed a lease in February, that should be good until Feb 2010.



CALL HUD...honey, you don't have to move at all.

Answer 7

You don't have to be finished packing for her to show the apartment. Most people who are looking at apartments will see apartments while the previous renters are still there. Try not to leave the place in a complete mess since she has given you the proper 24 hours of notice before entering your apartment.

Answer 8

It being their property they can pretty much do whatever they want as long as its legal and follows the lease agreements. theyre allowed to show the house as long as they give you prior notice

Answer 9

Pack up, make sure you're there when she's showing the house, let the people she's showing it to know what a ***** she is, that's what I'd do anyway, but I'm a spiteful guy sometimes.
