We signed a lease last April and we have been asking for our lease since then. The landlords have been giving us excuses as to why they haven't given it us. We haven't asked for it since November (since the birth of my baby). Is there anything I can do since he has refused to give me a lease? Has the lease been disolved? Are we on a month to month lease?

You are entitled to a copy. I cannot imagine what excuses he has.
I suggest that you send him a letter, via return-receipt mail, asking for a copy of the signed lease. Give the landlord 5 days from receipt of the letter to send it. Enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.
If he fails to comply, contact your local consumer protection department, attorney general, or housing department. One of them will have a unit that deals with issues such as this.
If you were month-to-month, unless there is an automatic roll-over, it's possible for it to be dissolved at any time. Many leases have explicit language that says what happens (e.g., "unless one party notifies the other by the 25th of the month, the lease is automatically extended"). But, alas, you don't have the lease to check!

2 wrongs do no longer make a suitable. you comprehend you signed the employ and also you're withholding price for non-delivery of said employ. until eventually it really is completely said interior the employ that the owner will grant a replica of the employ, the owner isn't incorrect so a recommendations as that criminal settlement is in touch. You no longer paying the employ notwithstanding, is a breach of that settlement and she ought to certainly report to evict in accordance to non-price. She is preserving the employ until eventually price. because price is due, i'd deliver the price qualified mail, go back receipt requested. interior the evelope i'd have written request for a replica of the employ. provide her 10 days to reply. if she does no longer reply then deliver yet another request qualified mail, go back receipt requested. interior the second one letter factor out that that is the second one request and also you comprehend she received the first request because you've the info of signature card. If she nevertheless would not provide it to then you i'd deliver a third letter 10 days later (similar way) declaring that it really is the finest request for delivery of the employ and that even if it isn't dealt with you'd be compelled to get criminal representation. After that get a criminal specialist to the contact her. which will maximum likely get her to budge. reliable success!

Most likely, your city government will have information about the landlord and what city codes he/she must abide by.
Contact your city govt hot-line to get advice...you might go so far as to contact the city attorney and ask them to address these questions.
It is possible that the district attorney might have jurisdiction over this.
Either way, you NEED to educate yourself about the rights you have.
Knowledge is power and right now, you are flying in the dark.

You are entitled to a copy. Contact your State Attorney General's office about this. (If you live in a state with a good Attorney General's Office, this will be rectified A.S.A.P.)
