Q: 10 months into a year lease my landlord tells me to move into the now vacant house next door.then gives me a mo.to mo.
Is that legal or the landlord just break the lease. Now at this new place I have documented problems and in the past two.mos. nothing has been done. There's some serious issues here I've offered to fix them and now he's given me a thirty days terminate notice
A: Lot's more info is required. Are you month-to-month, or fixed term? Did you agree to make the move? You can agree either by a written agreement, or by just moving. What are the problems with the new place? Are there repairs that are needed and that affect habitability (that is a legal question)? If you are month-to-month, he can terminate you for no reason at all. If a fixed term and the term has not expired, he cannot disturb your "quiet enjoyment" and has usually 30 days to make needed repairs.
