Q: I live on a property I was fired from and the new manager brought me a paper saying I had to be out in ten day not
Signed. Has a typed name of owner. No contact was ever made. No post for other employees to know of job opening do I need to leave in the ten days
A:
Receiving a notice to vacate the property within ten days can be alarming, especially if the notice is unsigned and lacks proper formality. It's important to understand your rights as a tenant, even if your housing is tied to your previous employment.
First, verify the legitimacy of the notice. A valid eviction notice typically needs to follow specific legal requirements, including proper delivery and signatures. Since your notice only has a typed name and no signature, it might not be legally binding. Contacting the property owner directly or seeking legal advice can help clarify the validity of the notice.
If the notice is valid and you need more time to move, you may be able to negotiate a longer period to vacate. It's also a good idea to review your employment contract or lease agreement, if available, as these documents might outline the terms of your housing arrangement. Consulting with a legal professional or a tenant's rights organization can provide guidance on how to proceed and ensure your rights are protected.
