A:
I'm sorry you're going through this difficult situation. In Poughkeepsie, if you don't have a lease or rental agreement, your rights as a tenant might be limited. Since the property is owned by your boyfriend and his mother, they have significant control over the living arrangements.
Regarding the $30,000 you gave, whether you can get it back depends on the nature of that money. If it was a gift, it may be challenging to recover. However, if it was a loan or for specific expenses, you might have a case to discuss repayment. Gathering any written agreements or proof of the transaction can help support your claim.
It would be beneficial to reach out to a local attorney or a legal aid organization in Poughkeepsie. They can provide guidance based on the specifics of your situation and help you understand your options. Additionally, exploring support services in your area can offer assistance as you navigate this challenging time.
