Q: Can a landlord evict me in less then 30 days for non payment or rent because non repair to property?
Have a 3' x 4' hole in drywall straight into attic above master bedroom bed. Wants to make repairs only during the week or let her non licensed handyman we don't trust in the dwelling while no one is home.
A:
Yes. You can be evicted if you did not pay rent. Sounds like you withheld rent trying to force landlord to make repairs. You are not allowed to withhold rent under the facts you state.
You should hire a tenant attorney ASAP from your area to advise you.
