It is good that you are willing to help. A landlord can evict any tenant who is behind on rent, even if only a little behind. Talk to the landlord, and then talk to local senior services agencies or rental agencies that might be able to help the tenant pay rent or find him a new place if he is... Read more »

Well, they can’t really get out of the month to month provision but a month to month lease is subject to renegotiation every month so they could say the rent is going up and not renew you unless you agree to the higher rent.
We are month to month at our current residence and our landlord gave us a 30 day notice via text message. Does this legally hold up?

My land lord is a private land lord

If it is a month to month lease, then either party can give 30 days written notice to terminate the lease at the end of a month. The notice must be specific. Proper notice given on 8/31 would terminate the lease on 9/30. If the tenants are not out 10/1, then landlord must give a written 3-day... Read more »
