Tenant Rights And Eviction
Summary
In Alabama, without a written lease, you may still have tenant rights as a tenant at will. Your aunt must provide a 30-day notice to evict you legally. Document all payments and maintain records of your occupancy. If the notice period is shorter, it may not be valid. You can negotiate for more time or challenge the eviction notice. Landlords are responsible for maintaining the property, ensuring it is safe and habitable. Consider drafting a letter to address these responsibilities and negotiate terms for continued residence.Full Conversation
If your paying land taxes and all the bills at a place that you have lived 10 years and all of a sudden your aunt wants you to move can she make you
Hey there! To better assist you, could you let me know if you have any written lease or ownership agreement for the property? That will help clarify your situation.
O lease or ownership agreement his granpa owned it the his dad lived here and he moved in with him ten years ago and his dad moved out now his aunt wants him to move out so she can let a friend stay here
Hey! Since there's no written lease or ownership agreement, the situation can be tricky. In New York, long-term occupancy might give you some tenant rights.
- Have you been paying rent or contributing to household expenses?
- Do you have any proof of residency (like bills in your name)?
These details can help understand your rights better.
