Q: I have received a notice to quit, I was caught doing something stupid (fireworks no damage. Do they have to evict me?
This was the first notice I got, I do not have any prior history of this with an apartment complex before. I have my father and kids living with me and don't know what to do if I am evicted. Does the apartments need to try and resolve this, to show I won't do it again before an eviction?
A: If you breached the lease terms or broke the law while on the rented property, you can be evicted via court eviction filings. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AEesq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.

A: Depends if it is a lease violation. If it is they don't have to try to work it out with you. You can always ask, but don't go there with they thought they have to do anything. It may be worth talking to an attorney who handles lease issues. If it was just you set off a bottle rocket, then you can make an argument it's not a significant breach.
