@Daniel Mears Daniel, you mind giving some clarity? The statement had me a little confused

@Lynnette E. Thank you Lynette! It makes sense. I’ve been sent some names of places I could call for legal help as well and hopefully I get lucky tomorrow getting a free consultation before moving forward. Thanks for taking some time to write back.

@Lynnette E. Hi Lynnette, I’m coming to you again for help and clarification. So before she was on a 12 month lease and I know the notice requirements for that are 60 days. However before giving her a notice, I tried to work with her by giving her a month to month option which she declined and said that she wasn’t taking it because according to her, month to month, tenants don’t have any rights. She then gave an ultimatum and straight up responded to my email and said she wasn’t paying any rent because she didn’t have a signed lease but she continues to want to stay in my house and use every utility I pay for. She said to take her to court if I wanted to.

I just want to make sure I’m protecting myself like you said. So since no lease was signed and she declined the month to month, you still recommend I give her 60 days notice and not 30? I was going to send my notice tomorrow but a thought came through for me to come back to this conversation.

@Steve Faucette thank you Steve. Sorry I was off the grid for a bit and sort of buried in all this mess. So I had hoped that putting her on a month to month would help like you and others have suggested but she declined that and actually told me tenants on month to month don’t have any rights so she wasn’t taking the offer. She then told me she isn’t paying her rent because of that. So I’ve my 30 day notice (since by default she is on month to month given no lease was sighed) ready to go out tomorrow by certified mail. I’m bracing myself for another reaction from her when she gets it but that’s been my life over the past month. Wish me some luck.

@Scott M. You’re right, Scott. Again, thanks for coming through and I appreciate your perspective on this! I’ll sure remember to keep you all posted on this in the next coming weeks!

@Lynnette E.Lynnette!! Thank you so much for coming through fir me and this is really refreshing to hear! I heed all your advice and will move accordingly. I feel really empowered now that I know the options I’ve available. My patience has run dry and it’s time to protect my peace.

@Bruce Woodruff Absolutely Bruce! Thank you so much. I’ll keep you all updated on the progress in the next couple weeks!

@Bruce Woodruff Bruce!! Thank you so much. I really needed to hear this. I could not believe it when she told me to “f**k of my house” after I told her I couldn’t do this. Putting a whole show and cursing me out. I now get part of the answer as the why some people end up homeless.

@Scott M. I didn’t even focus at work today because I feel very heavy and stressed out. However it’s the support folks like you have been giving that’s making me realize that I actually have leverage and that I can get out of this. Thank you so much for the support/advice and I really appreciate it.

@Colleen F. thanks again for coming through. I’m learning a lot and thanks for sharing your advice and support with me. I feel better now.
