Q: Aunt filed unlawful detainer. and told to move I'm on ssdi. what can I do for help
3 rivers won't help says conflict of int. I bought shed from a family member that doesn't live on property and I have been paying rent since Jan 2019 w/no complaint. It has electric and water. She let a granddaughter, kids, & her boyfriend move a shed & camper here and they made a huge mess. A complaint made to the zoning board. Zoning guy came out said no one can live in a shed. They were going to find her $50 a day. I had already bought a motorless RV that I was renovating to live in but was told that I can't live in it either in Columbia County on private property. I do not have any income except for 1127.00 a month and that's with a widowers benefit of 441.00. I really just need time to get to next month's pay of disability so that I can have my RV towed out of here. I need a lawyer to represent me.

You could try the Fla. Bar Lawyers Referral Service and ask for a Low Fee Panel attorney - see https://lrs.floridabar.org/
However, in the event that there is no law that protects you from the code enforcement authorities, there is little or nothing a lawyer can do. Schedule a consultation ASAP, and if it turns out that you have no legal protection, seek the help of social service agencies that help people avoid homelessness. I don't know about such agencies up your way, but here in South Fla., the county court clerk's office maintains a list of such agencies to give to tenants who have been evicted. Perhaps your local court also has such a list.
