Q: I received an eviction notice last night for payment of back rent. The eviction is only in my name . The original lease
Is in both our names do they have to evict separately because we're not married? Also, the eviction is for past rent, which I have a letter stating that as long as we pay extra each week (which we have been doing) we avoid eviction. The eviction is signed by a different person than the name on letter to avoid eviction. They are a couple that live in house in property. This is just a little of the story. The gentleman wanders around the park late at night and in wee hours of the morning drunk..which the lease states no drinking publically in the park. He has made a number of sexual advances over the years which I have declined and is always making in appropriate comments, which I have ignored quite frankly because I really don't have the means to move. His girlfriend, who's name is on the eviction note, is on Disability and works in the office (in the house). Not sure how they are compensated, but free rent & electric is also part of the deal. I've seen a lot. That's why he wants me out
A:
yes, assuming that they have the owner's permission to evict you, they may do so. The notice should be addressed to both of you.
They wouldn't evict you separately; the lawsuit would be against both of you.
The letter about paying extra weekly may be a defense to eviction.
The conduct you describe on the part of your neighbor has noting to do with their ability to evict you.
