I rented a property from a landlord 2 1/2 years ago. He lied to me about being the owner. He THEN helped to sell that property while I still had a lease. He offered to rent me another property he owned. He offered reduced rent due to repairs being needed. He rented to me for two years, then sold THIS property. He gave me a VERBAL notice I have 30 days to move. He finaly agreed to provide a 30 day notice after two weeks, but says I still have to be out by the end of the month. I sent him a letter stating that I will TRY to be out by the first after I got the verbal notice. He is stating that he will change the locks on the door and have my thigs hauled away or sold as of the first (at my cost). Is this legal, can he do this? And who can I talk to about this? Reno Housing wont help since I am not section 8.

I know you said he gave you verbal notice to leave but I am assuming you have a written lease. Check the renewal terms on that lease. If there are no renewal terms the lease would default to a month to month lease. If this is the case the landlord would need to give you 30 days notice that he was not renewing the lease.

If you choose not to be out, there is most like a holdover clause in your lease stating what he will charge for you not being out. He will then need to file for eviction as well.

The best person to talk to is the landlord and let him know he needs to be reasonable to give you proper time to move and that it would take longer to evict you than just allow you to find a new place to live. Remember to keep everything civil, even if he/she gets out of hand.

If that doesn't work you should contact a local tenant rights group or attorney familiar with Landlord/Tenant law. The local tenant rights group should be able to provide a recommendation for a lawyer. The following website is a good starting point for Nevada residents. http://www.nevadarentershotline.org/

As for your things, the landlord is required by law to keep any items left in the dwelling for 30 days.

It relies upon on your state regulations. In my state, a 30-day observe is needed inspite of the reason and can be contested in court docket, yet in some states the information could properly be taken right down to 3-10 days for fairly some motives, often related to unpaid lease or unlawful events. In in simple terms approximately all circumstances, the information could desire to be published and revealed on paper. it may be effectual in case you are going to be able to desire to describe why your landlord is attempting to evict you seeing because of the fact the regulation bearing directly to the required observe can selection based upon the situations.

Look up the state you live in (like MD state law on evicts) but as far as I know no that cant be done also contact the local police and just make them aware if that is happening so if they need to respond and why. Good Luck

Not legal at all -- He has to give you 1 month written notice (unless you have a lease that states otherwise) He also must safeguard your possessions for a "reasonable" (read at least a couple of months) time until you can retrieve them, He has no right to sell them.

Hes duckin an dodging. theres nothing even close to something legal going on here. go to the library, or book store and get a book called Tenants Rights for your state. this will put you in a position where you know way more than he does, and get you back on track.
