Hi all!
I recently have been kicked out from my house from what I believe is lies told about me to the landlord from another roommate. I'm not sure to what extent she has lied but I am sure she has told the landlord that I stole $600 from her. Of course this is false. The landlord told me the reason was because her daughters BF needs a cheap place to stay. She mentioned nothing about what my roommate may have told her and when confronted she denied that the lies are the reason. If I can prove that my roommate was responsible for for their decision, can I purse legal action against my roommate for the lies she has told? Defamation maybe?
Thank YOU!

If you have a lease, the landlord can't kick you out unless you broke one of the terms of the lease, and given the reason the landlord gave you, you would have cause to pursue legal action against the landlord. Contact the tenant advocacy organisation applicable in your area to get help. If you don't have a lease, you don't really have much of a chance, although it may be worthwhile to get in contact with the tenant advocacy organisation just to find out if you have any rights there. There's really no point in pursuing your ex-roommate.
