Q: Do I have tenant rights during an eviction She told me to get out and lied to me in order to proceed with filing feb 1
I also believe that this is a retaliatory eviction I had no idea this was coming because I do my best to follow rules and not jeopardize my tenancy. On Jan 17 I was served with a 3 day covenant or quit it said my property in on and around the rental property was hazardous waste and according to code enforcement I was to correct this violation or leave I cleaned my room from top to bottom the rest of the living spaces that I also use like the kitchen and bathroom and I started to work on some of my belongings I have stored in the outside patio. I was almost done cleaning up everything and still had a day left when she showed up and handed my rent back to me I asked what’s going on if I had corrected the issue and she said yes. But I still had to leave immediately I’ve only been there 3 months. Also between 15th of December and 15th of January I contracted COVID-19 and was recuperating and self quarantining she was notified of this 2 days later I was served with 3 day notice to quit
