My daughter's father said that i could rent his house. Ok, come to find out there is no running water and no heat. He told me to give him money,which I did, ( no i did not get a receipt, dumb me for being trustworthy) and he would fix the water, that was back in October, still no running water. I stayed in there for two days. I have found another place, but won't be moving until the first week of December. My stuff is still there and now he wants to put it out on the street. Did some research, the house is not even in his name? Can he do this?
You should still have certain rights. If you took possession of the house, he most likely cannot just toss your belongings in the street. Look at the landlord-tenant state laws links at the top of the rental forum. In any case, you should probably be looking into a short-term storage unit to prevent him from causing any damage.
Also, call your local code enforcement office and report the conditions of the house. They won't just go away if you ignore them.
I know its not NC you are in, but here you are considered to have an oral lease in the absence of a written lease. see if your state has something similar. If that is the case, speak to an attorney ASAP. Better yet, go ahead and speak to an attorney. You'll probably want one at some point in this mess.
Thanks everyone. I have since gotten my stuff out of that sleaze-bag house! I am doing fine and am waiting to move into my new digs! Good luck to his next tenant/victim.
