Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Kentucky
''Eviction''
I have not paid my rent for July. My Landlord says I have Until Fri.Aug. 9th to pay him the money or he will come and change the locks on Sat. Aug.10th. If I do not have the money on Fri. do I have to leave my home? Can he just toss me out? I thought we had to go to court first? What should I do? My lease doesn't say anything about evictions just late fees.

Well first of all a landlord may not legally change the locks on any dwelling without first getting a court order of eviction. If the landlord does do so I would call the police to have them let you in your home and file the proper papers with your local courthouse to be compensated.
