Q: Living in a hotel for 9 months. Harrassed by owners daily. Now telling us to leave because we have a child we pay extra
I have been in the same hotel for 9 months. Always pay them never owe money. This is where we live. The owners have constantly banged on my door and yelled at us. Stopped my child and yelled at him. They have rules posted that say no guests after 9. We dont have people over after 9. Now he is screaming at us to leave because my childs friend was sitting here watching tv with him at 5 pm. Because of the length of stay is t this now a landlord type deal and does him screaming at us and approaching our child count as harrassment. I pay an extra $50 a week for the kid being here and have done so for 3 months.
A: Longer-term use of a hotel can be classified as a landlord tenant relationship. However, the term can be significantly lower (daily or weekly versus months or a year). Yelling and banging at the door may qualify as a violation of the temporary lease agreement (but this is likely pushing the law). Can you find another hotel to stay at?
