Q: can i get evicted after 3 years of living in a place without missing a payment ?
Can I get evicted due to having my fiance live with me without being on my lease. We have 3 small children together, and he has a criminal record is been over 10 years of his last arrest, i am the only one on the lease and now they want us out after 3 years of living there. Is that even legal to do?
A:
You don't say who is evicting you - the landlord or the association (if there is one).
You need to look at your written lease agreement. I assume it has you and your children allowed as occupants and your fiance is not listed as an occupant. Since he apparently is not a guest there (meaning short duration), him staying there is a violation of the lease.
The landlord is supposed to give you a notice and time to correct such a violation. If that notice was given and you did not correct the violation either by getting him approved or having him leave, then the landlord can evict you.
