Two wrong letters won't make it right. Send a new letter giving 60 days, unless doing so will cause the statute of limitation to run, in which case, you do not need to give notice.

I don't understand your question. Your roommate paid someone else to apply for rental assistance, apparently received it, and is threatening to sue you for it? If your agreement with your roommate is to pay 1/2 of the rent, do that.
The plaintiff (a collection agency) has a retained attorney on record the one who filed the lawsuit, but another attorney claiming to be from the same law firm sent me an email trying to settle outside court.

I rent a room under a verbal contract. I've been told to vacate. This is sudden and leaves me in a terrible position. I'll be on the street because of this. Is there any law to protect me from this?
answered on Jun 21, 2021
If you rent the room on a month to month basis, they have to give you 30 days notice of non-renewal. If the oral agreement is week to week, they would only need to give you a week's notice of non-renewal. If you've breached the agreement in some way, the notice period can be 3 days.

I don't know of any grounds for claiming half of someone else's stimulus check. But then, I also don't know of any grounds to file taxes jointly if you're not married, either.

No, it's not the bank's car. Based on your description, the title made it your car, and the divorce decree made it your ex-husband's car.
In most cases, the decree provides that the person who receives the property is responsible to pay the debt. If he doesn't do so,... View More
Back in 2006 in Illinois I appeared in court, and let the lawyer know I did not believe the debt was mine. I did not know what the debt was for, who it was owed to, etc. I was told they would look into it, and did not hear back again. I assumed they realized it was an error (wrong person). Fast...
