Hello Brian, nice to meet you! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Well I'm leaving my house for 10 years I had an agreement with the person at the house that I can stay in the house and just fix it up and everything else but they showed up here the other day and a couple of power took and the electric company and I got first of all entry and unlocked for detainer that I go to court for and wanted to find out what I can do because I've been here 10 years it's hard to just up and move and pack everything up especially when you don't have any electricity
Hello Brian, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It may qualify as a landlord-tenant issue, and tenant rights can vary by location. Could you please let me know where you are located?
