Re: being evicted because I complainted about my neighbor kids kicking my wall,
The earlier answer you received is accurate. In any event, you have elected not to pursue remedies that are available to you because of you fear of retaliation. I feel the fear is not justified. After all what more is there after eviction.
Re: being evicted because I complainted about my neighbor kids kicking my wall,
If you do not have a lease agreement for a specific
and are paying on a monthly basis, you have a
month to month tenancy at will. The landlord can
terminate it at any time by giving you written notice
at least fifteen days before the end of the month.
You cannot sue the neighbors for the landlord's actions.
I strongly suggest you seek the advice of legal counsel ass
there may be other remedies or risks for you.
Evicted because complainted about conditions.
You should immediately have you apt. inspected by the local health dept. or housing authority. Then if your landlord tries to evict you, you can argue retalitory eviction and possibly stall any eviction for six months.
