Greetings. Over the lunch hour today I found a notice from my landlord on my door, "30 Day Notice To Terminate Tenancy". I must be out by March 1. I don't know the reason because I haven't been able to contact the landlord, as she has been out of the office today. I am placing this entirely in the hands of Our Lord and Our Lady. I have no idea how I will be able to afford to rent a van for moving, much less to be able to afford rent and deposit on a new place, and I have to depend on them entirely to direct me to a new place and to provide the means to move. Your prayers are appreciated.
You are in good hands! I will pray for you that your trust remains strong. I went through a similar experience a few years ago so I know it is very stressful. Praying...
Muzhik, May the Holy Family who had a rough start in Bethlehem, yet found a house in which to live, watch over you and provide for your needs. By the eternal merits of His Most Sacred Heart, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and in union with Saint Joseph!
Jesus please help Muzhik to find a new, better, nicer place for less money. Let it be a place with nice new neighbors, close to work.
What a worry, Muzhik. Please God, something better will work out for you. You will be in my prayers. Would house sitting be an option for you? I have seen websites carrying advertisements from both house owners and house sitters.
Prayers to St Joseph. It is terrible that a land lord can do something like this on a whim. Prayers through the day to the Great Saint. Please let us know.
I too will pray that Our Lady guide you to a better, safer and affordable new home. Also, that someone will help you with your move. God Bless You
I will pray for you - can everyone please pray for me also. I need somewhere also. I have had to leave my home because I offered cheap board to a person who was on the verge of bankruptcy and, as per his usual modus operandi, he has moved in and taken over completely, from day one. He is a dark triad personality. (If you dont know what that is, google it. I wont go in to it here). He is unstable, an alcoholic and seems to suffer from anti social personality disorder, (which they say has no cure- but what about Father Don Calloway? Hes living proof that these poor souls can experience true conversion.) so even before he arrived, I left and I havnt been back. I'v'e been housesitting and private boarding in between housesits. I have somewhere to stay til next Friday and after that I need somewhere new.I am hoping to go to Fatima for afew months soon, but until then, I am in need of another place to stay.
Lumena, is there a lease? if so, is your name on it? what does the landlord say? you should be able to get him out if he does not belong there, call the non-emergency number at the police department and ask about it. If your name is on the lease and he decides not to pay rent, you will be responsible for the rent. Jesus, please resolve this issue for Lumena, if she would be better off in a new place please get her one. Please help her in this situation.
Muzhik,I think there is a law about how much time you should be given before you have to institute a move. What are the terms of your lease? Are they month to month? Or for a year? You may not have to vacate legally in such a short time. Call the county in which you live and speak to someone in housing. I will pray for your intentions, also. And for you, Lumena, as well.
Will pray for you both! I am a landlord myself with a guest house on my property I've always rented out and have had to give notice to tenants a couple of times over the years. Both times were that the tenants let extra boarders move in and those persons were damaging the property or breaking the law like having drug parties on the property. In your case it could be something very simple like the property needing a lot of updating like plumbing or electrical and now is the right time for the landlord to do it. Usually after I would have a tenant leave I would try to do those updates but you can't always get a contractor on board unless it's on their schedule. I
Thank you. I'm afraid house sitting would not be a good option for me as I have two cats that I would need to place if I did that. I've spoken with my daughter who lives in town. Her previous roommate moved out a month or so ago and has agreed to let me move in temporarily -- between 3 and 6 months. If I'm forced to move (still waiting to hear from the manager) then that should give me some breathing space.
After the first year the lease is month to month. As such, they are only required to give me 30 days "from the next rental due date." I'm interested in learning what the reasons are for the eviction. I have no doubt that she can come up with something, and she is not required to give me any time for fixing whatever the issue is. A similar thing happened to my middle daughter when she lived in this complex.
I suspect that may be part of it. In the last month and a half I have had to have the heater/air conditioner unit replaced; the kitchen faucet needed replacement; while they were replacing the faucet I mentioned that in the last couple of months there had been 2 or 3 times where there was some backup from a drain that's next to the water heater. After fixing the faucet they did some tests and were able to duplicate the problem (which surprised me). In order to fix it I would have to clear out the closet where the water heater is located (I'm using it as a pantry). That would not be a problem for me, but they may have needed to take out the water heater to fix the issue. In the last year I had a problem where the wax seal on the toilet upstairs cracked and had a slow leak. The first clue was that the drywall on my bathroom ceiling started to discolor, mold, and crack. The maintenance guy came in, took his pencil, poked a hole in the ceiling, and water started pouring out! Wow. The more I think about it, the more I wonder if that's the real reason. If so, maybe I can get transferred to a different unit in the complex.
