Thank you everyone for your comments.

Unfortunately, they would not give me a lease to sign therefore making it month to month.  I am my Dad's only caregiver and I guess I was just stupid for trying to create a nice place for my Dad with Alzheimer and prostate cancer to live peacefully until I could not care for him and he has to go to a facility.  I am crushed thinking we have to move after he has become comfortable and safe with his surroundings.  Obviously, it is going to be really hard for him in a new environment.  I guess there isn't anything I can do to protect us from heartless people.  

A year ago, I rented a house from a deputy sheriff acting on behalf of an out of state owner.    We made improvements to the property with the permission of the deputy and now that the home is lovely, they want to evict me to double the rent.  I paid rent with  a money order being payable to the Deputy, putting his name on all payments.  The deputy has been depositing the money into his personal checking account to take $50 out for himself for managing the property and sending the remainder the owner out of state.  Is this illegal for the deputy since he is not licensed in real estate or property management?
