Q: My boyfriend is evicting me
I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years and just recently he told me I had to get out within a week. But because he had surgery he told me he needed me for that and then I could stay until after. Then today he told me that his dad came over with eviction papers for me. What are my rights in this situation.
A: Did you have any sort of written lease? The issue comes down to what was our lease, and if it was month to month, then the eviction notice has to give you 60 days to vacate. If you were in say a year-to-year lease and only six months in, he could not evict you without cause.
