Re: Tenants Rights
If you have a lease you have until the end of the lease if the house you are in is a one to five-family dwelling. If you don't have a lease you must leave, but it takes a while for the landlord to enforce her right to evict you. SHe must give you 30 days written notice and if you don't leave by the end of the 30 days, she can start a Holdover proceeding in court and the jusdge will give you at least three months, sometimes up to six. You have to leave anyway and you don't want to deal with her anyway, so start looking! Good luck.
