Saira Davis, I am being evicted on a 10 day notice when law requires a 30 day notices in my state and county. I have leaved here for over a year, I pay * dollars in rent. I receive my mail here.
Hey Saira, it sounds like you're dealing with a tough situation. To better understand your eviction notice, could you tell me if you have received any legal documentation or notices from your landlord?
No, only verbal. And she is denying that my rent payments was rent, but I have her in a texted screenshot that has her saying that my payments were for rent.
