You are writing from Wyoming, and this is the Utah board, so we can only answer questions regarding property in Utah. Owning property in a HOA is a gamble as you get the benefit of controlling what happens in your HOA according to the rules, but if you ever cross the rules, you may have problems of... View More

A landlord can terminate a month to month tenancy if they give you 15 calendar days notice before the end of the month.

Month to month means you don't have a contract that forces the landlord to allow you to stay longer.

If the only thing the landlord is evicting you for is taking prescribed medications, then no they don't have this right and you will win in court.

If you have any other issues, such as behavior issues resulting from the medications that put people or their property in danger, you can... View More

If you feel the landlord has no cause for eviction, you must be paying rent on time. In that case, it sounds as if you are able to afford rent at a new location. One month is normally plenty of time to find a new location.

If you are unable to pay rent, contact United Way: (801) 374-2588.... View More

Judges have no patience for a tenant that does not pay rent. They must first pay rent, then if there is an agreement, they can sue for fulfillment of the agreement. If there is no agreement, they have little to sue for. The property conditions would have to be pretty bad for them to be able to... View More

You should look at your lease agreement, but typically you have to give 30 days notice before someone can terminate the lease.

So, it automatically renews if no one has given notice of "non-renewal of lease" for another 30 days. Unless you haven't paid rent, he... View More

Hello,

I am sorry that you are in this situation. I am not sure that you have a question in your comments. It does sound like you are on the right side of the law and you could start enforcing the breach of contract actions that are most likely listed in your agreement. Maybe there is a... View More

I am not aware of any such laws. If you have an obvious personal trait that is protected under federal law, they might be using this fee as a way just to be difficult to make you go elsewhere without looking like they are discriminating against you. If they don't charge everyone the fee,... View More

The answers to your questions are in your contract. As I haven't read the contract, I can't give you any sure answers. I will say that most Buyout Clauses in leases are designed for the Tenant to buy the property, not the reverse. How to serve documents on a Tenant, like a clause allowing... View More

There are many ways to deal with property owned by multiple people. Sometimes someone is allowed to stay on a property for free to care for it, thus protecting everyone's interest in the property. Other times one owner will live there as a tenant, and the other owners are landlords. In that... View More

The date they told you they would not be staying in the rental is normally the date of Termination for the original tenants. They did sign an agreement, so even though they got nothing out of it, you may technically argue their termination cost you rental time if the contract is clear on this... View More

As you have several questions and unlawful detainer is unique, I recommend talking to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney there is an organization in Utah that will represent you for free and give you plenty of information:

I have never seen a commercial property lease without an agreement. Your rights will be detailed in that agreement.

You need an attorney who practices eviction and real estate law.

Hard to say w/out seeing the contract. A tenant may exercise exclusive control over some areas, probably their room and private space, but would not have the legal right to ban a guest of another tenant/owner from a common area space.

I hope this helps.

I am sorry for what you are going through. If you haven't seen the will how do you know you had a right to live in the house so long as you paid utilities?

This sounds like it would be very difficult to reverse what has happened as the house is now owned by someone else. If you are... View More

If you can prove he copy and pasted the signatures, that is criminal and he could go to jail. Take the proof to the county attorney's office and make sure they know which attorney he is using. The attorney may be in trouble as well.
