A:
It sounds like you're in a difficult situation. The authorities' actions can feel abrupt and confusing, especially when there seems to be a verbal agreement and a lease in play. From your description, it appears the property may have been condemned due to safety concerns, which can lead to immediate eviction for the sake of public safety.
However, your rights depend on local laws, the validity of the lease, and the specifics of any agreements made. If the property owner or trust holder, who legally owns the property, has requested you to leave and law enforcement is involved, it might be challenging to contest their decision on short notice. It's important to document everything that has happened, including any agreements, leases, and communications with authorities.
To protect your interests, you should consider reaching out to a local tenant's rights organization or legal aid service. They can offer advice based on the laws in your area and help you understand your rights and options. Taking swift action to seek legal guidance will give you the best chance to address this situation properly.
