A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be fact-specific in terms of security measures. There is no universal "yes" or "no" answer. Good luck

We have not paid September's rent yet and the landlord wants to sell the house. He has cited § 89-7-27 and give us 15 days to leave, but never sent a 3-day notice to pay rent. Does he have to give us adequate time to leave?

Not necessarily. I would say that on the front end, you should look at the language of the lease agreement to see what sort of notice is required.

It could depend if you have medical documentation and you could establish the connection between your symptoms and the mold. These can be tough cases. See if a local injury attorney would offer you a free initial consult. You could also contact a landlord-tenant attorney to discuss how these issues... Read more »

You may need to speak with two different attorneys here. Maybe the more pressing issues are those involving habitability in your apartment. Contact a landlord-tenant attorney to discuss your remedies under Mississippi L-T law. You could also contact a personal injury attorney. However, based on the... Read more »

Yes, if you lose, under the rules for these types of claims, you would end up being responsible for their attorney's fees and court costs.

It is very much true; however, the landlord has to go through a specific process in order for the eviction to be legal.

It would really depend on how the deed was set up. Regardless, it sounds like you may need to consult with an attorney to discuss opening up an estate to handle your mother and step-father's affairs.

If they are a tenant, give them adequate notice to vacate the property. If they are not a tenant, give them a letter asking them to leave, and if they do not, notify law enforcement, because they would be considered trespassing.

I have the receipts for my prorated rent and security deposit that I never got back. I want to take her to court over the deposit and to pay for my hotel lodging since wrongful eviction. Do I have a case with no Written lease?

The default in Mississippi is month to month, such that the landlord has to provide a month's notice before terminating said lease, unless, however, you have broken a condition of the oral lease, such as not turning in rent in enough time.
answered on Aug 12, 2018
Under the relevant statute, if a person does not pay their rent, then the landlord can begin the eviction process by giving them a three-day notice to pay rent or vacate the premises.
