I had told someone that he was a sexoffender and now he is threatening to evict me. That is public information and there are people that live in the building who have kids, I think it is only fair and their right to know this.

You are right in saying that these people have a right to know the truth about this man but if it's his place than yes, he can evict you regardless of your lease or whether you pay ontime. It will help should you have to go to court over this but know that if it gets that far, as long as you can prove residency for at least thirty (30) days and you receive mail there, it will take 90 days for him to officially evict you. So you will have at least three months to find a new place. Only then will the cops come to your place and actually watch you move all your things and you leave the permisses. It can get terriably ugly so see if there isn't a way to smooth it over in the mean time. That is if you really want to stay there.

If it's public information then the other tenents are capable of finding it out for themselves, right? He may be a low-risk offender who hasn't committed any violations for decades, and his original violation may have had nothing whatsoever to do with children. Rest assured the police know about him, where he is, and what he does for a living. You don't have the right to spread what may be misleading information about him just because you saw him listed on the offender database. That's harrassment and he can not only evict you for it, he can sue you. Let the law handle these things, that's what they're for.

You will need to look at your lease to see if you actions are a violation of the lease. It is unlikely that they are if you strictly "told someone" of this information - but I'm sure he will be on the look out for some legitimate lease violation. And if what you said was false, your problems are bigger than just being evicted. It would be "per se" defamation In most jurisdictions and the burden would be on you to prove it was true or you otherwise had a legal privilege to make the statement.

If you obtained the information legally and it was public information, no he can't evict you. If on the other hand yo are late with your rent, yes he can evict you. Also, if you are leasing he may be able to refuse to renew your lease (check local laws) in which case yes, he can evict you.
Unless you have broken the terms of your lease, not he can't evict you.

If your landlord is a known sex offender, why worry about whether he'll evict you or not? I'd pack up and get out of that place anyway, and especially if you have kids. You don't want to put them at risk, do you? I sure wouldn't want my kids exposed to that sort of danger. There are other, safer places to live.

on your hire that are regulations that would desire to a tenant would desire to abide via, yet whilst your ex is a sitter. There are some landlords that bypass a line, they overlook they are working a organization, whilst they pick to apply a hire that's a binding settlement no longer a weapon. in case you have already verbally enable the owner understand that your ex is a new child-sitter, i'd advise which you at present positioned this in writing, refer lower back to the verbal substitute, date and apologies for the confusion. sign in qualified mail this to the LL; in case you could bypass to place up workplace first so as which you would be able to get the eco-friendly signature card, it has a selection on it, positioned that selection on the best of your letter, so as that the LL can no longer say she did no longer get carry of the letter, you will additionally get the signature card lower back whilst she signs and indicators for the letter. interior the letter enable the LL understand which you ex is your worker and the days and time he would be on the region. If it does not conflict along with your hire she could lower back off. There are LL in this internet site that overlook or do no longer understand that once you provide money to hire/hire an element of their organization they'd in basic terms refer lower back to the settlement. occasion: if a administration organization hire a food market area to a significant foodstuff chain they'd no longer bypass into the organization and tell them the thank you to run it. there is not any distinction for busybody LL.

If you haven't broken a lease he shouldn't be able to evict you. Check your lease. Make sure the information you are spreading is accurate. Contact Fair Housing. Tell them all the details and They will give you much more accurate information than all of us fools.

He can't evict you without just cause. Be sure that you are paying your rent and staying out of trouble. Keep a low profile and contact a lawyer right away.

first of all, from what i understand, all tenants must be notified that a sex offender is going to be living in the area. So if your landlord didn't notify the community I don't think he can evict u.

First, I hope you were telling the truth, or he could sue you for slander. Second, you'll probably have to pack your bags anyway, because he can probably evict you for any reason. Unless you have a good lawyer, you're probably better off leaving, no matter how good your intentions may have been.
