There's a habitability problem at this senior's complex. When I report anything to the manager, she thinks I'm a problem. I have a letter with all of the details, and pictures, I'd like to send you, if I can have an email address.
Yes, they can do that. Is it legal. I would say no. Contact the nearest lawyer to you that litigates habitability issues and get an appointment. Best of luck.
I rent two rooms from a man for my family of five. We are waiting for our new place to be ready. About another week or so. I have fallen behind on my rent to him. He has served me with a three day notice to perform or quit. Can he evict me without going through the courts and the legal process?
No. He cannot evict you without legal process. However, if you explain you only need a week, you may save a bad reputation in the future. Talk first and avoid a legal eviction.
and no one will get back to us
Sounds extreme. Sometimes it is an excuse to evict you and rent apartment for a higher price. Do not stop paying rent. Best of luck!!!
we pay rent on time or early 24 hr notice to check unit came in said it smelled and left then got notice
Need more facts.

Yes, but your landlord's actions demonstrate either a lack of professionalism or bad faith. I suggest you tell the landlord you need time to consider the changes to the lease and hold over on your current lease. Then study the changes and see if they are fair and reasonable, given your...
