A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal and your injuries. At this point, your best option might be to reach out to local attorneys to discuss. You could use the link above (Find-a-Lawyer), or you could search on your own.... View More

A landlord can charge certain fees and designate them as non-refundable. Some of these fees could include charges upon your leaving the premises at the conclusion of your stay/lease/agreement. I would not call this a nonrefundable deposit, although I have seen written agreements characterizing... View More

You need to pay for a review of the contract by an attorney and bring the entire lease. The 60 day notice provision, if accurately represented, is "valid" because parties may contract on any matter not prohibited by law. Your question is unclear on how you think you can recover 60 days... View More

Check your lease for a lease termination fee. Send notice of your termination by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by fax to the landlord.

It sounds like you may be in your parents property without a lease. You need to move before you are evicted.
My wife just passed away. She bequeathed half of my home to her son, which I had no knowledge of until a few days ago. He is the executor of her estate and wants his half of my house now.

If her will left her half of the house to him and it was purchased during the marriage, that makes you the owner of the other half. Either of you can force a sale if neither of you wants to buy the other out. Call a successions attorney.

You own a trailer. You owe a lien for a trailer. They are still responsible for the lien if you don't pay it because I seriously doubt the lender would release to 2 cosigners. If you have a lease to the land, you can enforce it. If you don't, they can evict you. They have no other... View More

It's clear the trailer is titled to you. It's not clear who owns the land to answer your question.

Generally, an heir cannot be evicted from a house they are in possession of since they are a co-owner. You need a lawyer to make sure your rights are protected from an unauthorized eviction.
