Q: Can my step dad kick my young child and I out without any notice prior to vacate?
We've been here less than 3 months, he said we could stay until I got accepted or denied for a loan towards my own home purchase. He's constantly a different man and changing his mind about things. Now, less than 15 days from Christmas he wants us to move out knowing I'm low income and banking on this loan and all my savings to go towards my own home. The whole point to us being here was to save up and renting would've just deminished my bank account tremendously. He also keeps threatening to shoot my dog in the head just because he doesn't like him... What can I do to prolong this moving until I can find a place to go and what rights as far as his threats to kill my fog do I have?
A: Well, you can certainly contact a lawyer for a free consultation to discuss your situation and see what answers they give you. While you are staying at his place you should find other accommodations. I am limited to what I can answer in a public forum, which is why I am telling you to contact a lawyer for a free consultation so that you or we can go over your situation and options in details.
