Get everything in writing! If he kicks you out, go legal on him.

Your landlord cannot kick you out without proper notice. He cannot even turn off your utilities or lock you out. If he needs to get you evicted, there is a process that he needs to follow. Simply put, you cannot be evicted without a court order.

What if my landlord suddenly kicks me out without giving me enough time to find another apartment? I am asking because I am stuck in a similar situation.

Nice set of advice. Thanks! People tend to forget to take things calmly when faced with difficult situations. I guess the panic even makes things worse.

If you lived above a bar and you knew that when you signed the leasea agreement then there is no way out – unless you pay for the fees. But if you were decieved like you said you were, then there are legal measures to get you out of that place.

Check your state tenant laws. In NY, we have very strict noise ordinances that guide us everyday. If you were in New York, your landlord would have been in violation of these ordinances for sure.

I would immediately file a complaint if I were in your situation. That is just unacceptable! The noise will drive me nuts and it may cause me to be absent from work. I wouldn’t want that to happen.

You have to be very careful whenn filing a complaint because there are some states that may triple your deposit if your lose the case.

I agree. To check, you can enter your landlord’s name into Google and then add “complaints” so you will be given a list of complaints against that landlord. If a complaint has been filed with RPA, you should see the complaint form used.
