where can I get help to pay back rent my name is not on the lease willbe evicted if money is not paid.?

Question

the judge told me to pay up back rent by 8/15 and then do order to show cause why i should be allowed to stay in apt. eg succession rights stepsisters apt, made contribution financially and have lived there for 4 yrs have proof. the judge did not give landlord what landlord wanted for me to be evicted because i am a squatter according to landlord, even though i paid several checks in my name and they cashed them. the problem is i dont know of a government agency that is willing to assist me without a lease. i have small children

Answer 1

Not long ago, I was on the landlord's end of this. The tenant moved in his pregnant girlfriend and her six kids, then quit paying the rent, and trashed the place. We filed eviction against him and listed her as a squatter. She then attempted to get on the rental agreement--didn't qualify, and actually brought paperwork to us to get her housing assistance to stay. We didn't want housing assistance, we simply wanted her out of the house. We wound up being successful in court, and they no longer rent from us.

I know this sounds harsh, but you should look for a new place to live. If the landlord wants you out, it's only a matter of time before it happens.

Answer 2

i believe that the person name that is one the lease will be evicted.. and since your are not on the lease and not paying rent u are illegally trespassing. and the law can put you on the bricks. suggest you find a different place to live before 8/15.

Answer 4

I hate to say this, but this judge probably knows real estate/rent laws better than most. You won't win this one.
Check out other options and avenues for help, such as social services. Don't waste time and money trying to beat this, prepare to move on!

Answer 5

You should seek advice from an attorney. As a lay person, with some knowledge, I think that you are out of luck, in this instance.
