Q: Is a 30 day eviction notice legal if there was no rental agreement drawn up and signed?
Back story to the above inquiry. I met a woman over 17 yr.s ago, we lived together for that time and bought a house together ( in California) we never married and separated some years ago, we signed documents according to California law, I left the house. I have fallen on hard times and she let me move back into the house w/o a rental agreement. I still, to this day can see on my Wells Fargo account what,she owes on the house, apparently my name is still on the house that she has given me a 30 day notice to move. Where do I stand and what are my options. Any and all details please, thank you.
A: There are so many facts missing from your message that it is impossible to give you any meaningful advice. One thing only: you say you "bought a house together." That means ()I assume) that there is a deed with your name on it. If that is the case, you MAY have an equal right to occupancy. You can find out by searching the county records where you live.
