Re: crazy landlord
Your landlord can't immediately evict you without a hearing. The first thing youmust do is provide the landlord with adequate notice. If you wish, you can e-mail me precisely what repairs need to be made in your house and I will draft a letter to your landlord that will help preserve your rights.
Re: crazy landlord
The landlord has a duty to provide heat and repairs and an ecviction cannot be obtained without 1st serving proper notice, then following up with a petition that must be filed with the court and personally served upon you. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
