Q: I was illegally evicted by my ex. He called the police claiming i didnt live there and had me removed. What can i do?
I called the multnomah county courthouse and they told me i had to have monitery losses in order to file anything against him and i had to get ahold of an attorney. I cant afford an attorney and i cant prove any loses, so does thay mean there are no consequenses for him? I had to sleep outside and move into a basement with bedbugs because i had no notice. Also this all happened the day i got paid and had just givin him all my money. Is there anything i can do?
A: It all depends upon the details - does he own or rent? If rent, were you on the lease? Regardless of whether he owns or rents, did you pay rent and if so, to whom? These and many other questions can affect your rights. The way to know is for you to simply review everything with a local landlord-attorney to what, if any, claims you may have. Good luck.
