Q: LL retaliated after notice of repairs not made by refusal to accept new signed lease before he got letter
We were on month to month, we signed new 1 yr. lease on 8/5/2018 prior to LL receiving our letter Monday of non-repairs of leaking roof and inside walls, received letter today that we are to move out by 09/30/2018, even though we had already signed a new lease the day before! This is retaliation from our letter addressing we had possible mold in the walls and husbands recent medical issues. How do I stop the termination of a lease after we had already signed a new one and no longer month to month?
A: You will need to petition the Court in the city or county where the premises is located and ask the Judge to make a determination about who is right regarding the residential lease.
