Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in West Virginia

Sister kicked me out.

My sister and I moved into an apartment about a month ago. My name is not on the lease, but I pay rent to my Sister. We got into a dissagreement and now she says I have to leave on a one day notice. Can she do this? Does she have to give me 30 days notice? I have no place to go please help.

Re: Sister kicked me out.

Technically you are a subtenant(perhaps in violation of the lease) and cannot be evicted without court process.if she locks you out etc you may be able to sue her.Get the landlord to acknowledge you on the lease +offer to guaranty half of rent.
