My landlord called me and said i have three days to get my stuff out of the house. I got a few necessities out the first day . the second day i went to get furniture and all of my clothes etc. and my landlord had changed the locks on the house. Everything i had owned was left in the house , two toddler beds , one baby crib , all my childrens toys , all of our dishes , things from our wedding, food , a couch, two large area rugs , bathroom and kitchen rugs, everything . What is a reasonible amount of money to counter sue for. the landlord is taking me to court for a broken door so i am going to counter sue for my things he has claimed . He verbally evicted me and changed the lock two days after the verbal warning to move out in three days, his reason for eviction was for a family violence inccident ? anyone know what i should do first ? im only 27 and havent experienced anaything like this before and i think that is why he is doing this because he knows i am young and thinks i am dumb???

The RPA represents all 50 states so they should know what they’re doing.

Why is it that nobody cares to leave their state information? The law depends on every state so there is no definite answer as to what will happen next or what you can legally do about it. Does the RPA know about the tenant law in every state? I hope that they do.

Pay up or leave – simple as that. Why make it complicated? The landlord is just doing his business and if you are not being helpful, then he has no reason to still want you in the lease agreement.

If you think that you’re going to be late with the month’s rent then it is best to talk to your landlord first. You need to explain the situation and hopefully, your landlord will give you an extension. However, do not expect that all landlords will be like that because they will treat the rental as their business. In case the negotiation does not work to your advantage and you feel that you have been injustly treated then you should file for a complaint with the RPA.

I just want to share that if you want to move out once served with the 3-day notice, it is best to leave the place in excellent condition. Damages should be repaired, if there are any. If you do these, most landlords may just write it off and then move forward. The problem is, you might not get your deposit back but that may also mean that you won’t owe anything either. So it just depends on how you negotiate with your landlord. If you are not very good at negotiations,then yes, I think the RPA is a great organization that can help you out.

If I move out, will my landlord still evict me? I don’t think so but am I right? I just want to be sure. Also, I know that I would have to pay rent but can I do that after I leave?

Hmm.. This is interesting. So apparently, I have a reason to file for a complaint since my landlord locked me out 3 days after he sent me the notice. I will do that right now. Thanks!

Why not just pay up ontime instead of being bugged down with accumulated rent plus penalties and other charges? I think your rent is just as important as the rest of your expenses. Besides, rental history is I think part of your credit rating so it’s actually more important than what you think.

Can I use my deposit as payment for the month’s rent? I will be a bit behind because of some financial harships. My husband lost his job and we have children to feed and sent to school. Do you think my landlord will accept this request? I don?t want to be served with a 3-day notice.
