Jamestown, ND asked in Family Law, Real Estate Law, Civil Rights and Landlord - Tenant for North Dakota

Q: I've lived with my bf for 2 yrs. He owns the house. Do I have any legal right to temporarily stay?

There are no children involved. There was never any agreement for rent etc. He had a mild stroke about a month ago. He needs help with some chores and taking care of the pets. I have no other home and all my belongings are here. I left my teaching job to be with him. Towards the end of the school year I'm sure I can get a job and move and be financially stable. But that is 6 months from now. He's made false accusations against me. There's nobody else here to help him with daily chores.
