Renter's Rights?

Question

There is more to the story. She has used the grounds that she presented my checks for payment., and they were NSF. Well of course they would be., I had just pulled the money out of my bank on Wed, like she requested. The underlying issue, I think..is that she is very religious and her tenants downstairs are as well. I did have beer in the fridge, and she probably discovered it when she came in, while I was not there, to retrieve furniture that was left behind from previous tenant. I don't want to live here, but I don't think she should be able to force me out in a day, don't I have 30 days or so?

Answer 1

Read you lease. Your tale is rambling and does not allow those with knowledge about this subject to be helpful. Stick to facts and not opinion; otherwise all replies to your question are most likely without merit.
Good luck.

Answer 2

You wrote bad checks. So that is a good thing to learn.
Even if you told her the checks were not good, still it is
like a crime to write bad checks. YOu really have to trust
someone when you tell them not to cash checks or that they
are not good until a certain time. Consider how much time and energy you are spending on this. is it worth it? if you don't want to live there, then i think you should just get out of there. why stay where you are not wanted.

Answer 3

i hate to say this, but it looks bad for you that the check came back as NSF, regardless of your situation, arrangement, explanation, etc.

would YOU rent to someone who had a returned security deposit check? it's a bad first impression, although it's not a "well rounded" first impression.

Answer 4

Yes, you do. Call the police on this one, she will have to obey the law like every other landlord. Good luck !!

Answer 5

yes, she must give you a 30 day notice before eviction
