Q: Dad trying to kick us out of his condo
Me, my husband and roommate live in a condo my parents own. We pay the condo fee and my dad told us to leave. We do not have a lease and all get mail here. I am also pregnant. I called the clerk of courts and was told by them he has to do an eviction. My dad refuses to do so. All the utilties are under my name so he can't turn them off. He is doing this because he hates me husband. This started when I got married. I refuse to talk to my dad, How do I tell him again he has to do an eviction? He refuses to do it. He says he can and will put us out whenever he wants. That he owns the condo so he has every legal right to throw us out right now, but not according to the courts here in jacksonville, fl.

A: He will have to formally file for eviction, but why would you want to tell him that - don’t help him evict you. Just continue to be a good tenant and pay what you agreed to pay to stay there. Keep track of your utility payments and any other payments you make towards renting the property such as payment of the condo fees. If he wants to evict you, he can file for eviction, it’s his right as the property owner.
