Now she wants to evict me. What are my legal rights
answered on Mar 25, 2024
Your post is unclear however the gist is what right do you have to be on the property? Is it written and if so, what are the terms? If there are no terms, then I would assume the owner has every right to ask that you leave and if you fail to do so then you are subject to eviction.

Based on your post, you should fight the eviction, however it will be a short victory. If you are month to to month, then the new owner can simply ask you to move out at the conclusion of the month to month---thus while you should win the eviction, it probably only means a 30 or so day delay...
