Does her landlord know that you are living there? If she has no rental agreement with the building, they can't "evict" her so to speak, if there's no paperwork, there can't be a real court hearing or anything. If the landlord likes you so much I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to convince them to let you stay in your own apartment. Just tell them that you really like staying here and you'd like to keep on staying there. It's weird that there's no agreements or leases or anything...not very smart on the landlord's part.

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

Talk to the CAB about the tenant rights. They will be able to give you the specifics, and they're free!

File a claim in small claims / justice court where you live. Get all the evidence you can that they are wrong and you are right. Where I live, the Justice Court will give you a form to fill out as the Complaint, and pay a fee, and they file it. Find out how to serve your tenants and then they have so many days to answer. If they don't, you can default them and get a judgment, then go after them to collect.\n\nThe Justice Court clerk can't give you legal advice, but they CAN provide forms and tell you the procedures. Attorneys usually aren't involved in small claim matters and it will save you a lot of money and give you experience in case you need to do it again for future renters.

Check your local government website.  There should be a link or somewhere to search for landlord-tenant rights/disputes.  Or if your state has renter's court you may be able to ask someone there the steps you would need to take or a better referral to someone who has more answers.  Tenant-landlord disputes will always go through state hands first, so your best bet is to start there.   The internet is a good starting place, but I have found that it is best to talk to people/agencies directly.

You're very brave.\n\nI have three tenants and the only time that I had kids staying with me, their parents were the hassle.\n\nFor all tenants\n\nSpecify what's included in the rent. \nEmergency numbers must be available\nYour guests - is your tenant and children invited to any function you have, or is it going to be on an event basis\nIf your tenant has guests what are the rules  \nIf your tenant has cash flow problems increase the rent to cover a meal a day, otherwise food can be an issue.\nMarking food in need so that it isn't eaten by someone else.\nBreakage and spoilage rules.\nRules of communal areas you will share. \nCleaning up rules and sharing stuff - the lousy tenants I had threw away cutlery rather than wash it.\nPrivacy - if a door is closed knock before entering\nShared bathrooms rules and standards - no videocams\nIf there are pets how must they be treated.\n\n\nFor the kids\nDiscipline issues - make sure that all the adults agree on the kids limits. All kids try and push the boundries. The deal won't work unless the adults unite against the kids. Any discussions about the raising of the children and any rule changes must happen way from the kids. When the adults have agreed on any deal then all three adults must tell the kids the changed rule.    \nWhat are acceptable punishments and who will apply them. Can you or your husband send a kid to their room until their mother comes home? \n\n\nGeneral points\nTalk often and always. Be lenient and flexible but when you aren't impressed let everyone know it. Apologise if you have done something wrong. Stress politeness, get into the habit of greeting and letting everyone know where you are going. Praise and thank when something is done according to the rules. If someone is grumpy or sulking find out why and have it out. If possible have a daily adult talk session in the first week and then reduce it to once a week or once a month, just to iron out friction.  \n\nIt's a big adaptation for some people to share. I find that mature adults can live together profitably. It is laziness, taking advantage, dishonesty and manipulation that causes hassles.

You are legally bound to that contract.  Talk with your landlord.  They may keep your deposit as well as re-rent fees, etc and rent until they are able to rent it again.  Check your lease on penalties.  If they wanted to be a jerk, they could hold to to the full term of the lease.  Offer to help find a new tenant, pay to advertise it.  Work with them to get it re-rented and they will probably let you out of the contract.\nGood Luck.

There's an excellent book on Landlording by Leigh Robinson. Get it worth every penny. The link below has rental agreements too. But get the book, very very useful.

Without going into details over the argument itself, my advice to you is avoid direct confrontation with this person and seek a more civil way to address any issues you may be having with him, this would include up to contacting local authorities over his threats.\n\n  If both of you are under a common landlord, try directing a complaint toward him/her.

wow it looks like some people really know how to copy and paste\n\nhey look if you rent and want out put ur qualms in writing!!! send three times. after that you can pretty much get what you want. its called the 'right to quiet enjoyment'. everyone hears nagging from phone calls but doesn't really listen!!!\n\nafter 30 days no answer write another letter of non compliance to landlord responsibilities, stating breach of contracted lease. in the letter state next option is for them to let you out of your lease!!!  your free hooray!!\n\nif they don't let you out.....(their just stupid and stubborn)\n\nonce you've established the written portion, forward it on to your local code enforcement dept. either done by housing authority or dept of children and families. after that sit back it becomes a state issue.. all you have to do is answer some questions if they call you to testify..

Read your lease, and look for the part where it talks about the Landlord's duties, especially in regards to maintenance and safety.  \n\n\nFrom the Attorny General's Office, state of Kansas comes this document on landlord and Tennant Rights and Obligations:  You will need Adobe, its a .pdf file. \n\n\nhttp://www.accesskansas.org/ksag/Files/Brochures/tenant.pdf\n\nAlso, you can call the State's Human Services Department, located in  in Wichita, 316-268-4688 or 316-337-6270.  \n\nHere is another link that may help you:\n\nhttp://www.hud.gov/local/ks/renting/tenantrights.cfm\n\nCheck this out:\n\nhttp://www.hcci-ks.org/TLL/THB/table_of_contents.htm\n\nspecifically, \n\nhttp://www.hcci-ks.org/TLL/THB/tntlnlrd.htm\n\nthere should be enough sources, numbers and links here to official local governmental agencies to help you. Good luck.

Make sure you research your rights and responsibilities. There should be a local government website that will cover your rights and responsibilities as a landlord. In Canada there is a Landlord and Tenant Advisory Board which is accessible thru the net, phone or fax and are available free of charge to both landlords and tenants for information as well as settling disputes. Read as much information as you can but nothing beats getting a good tenant. Do credit checks, if possible, on all tenants. Make sure you check their references. See how long they've been employed, how long they were at their last address, etc. Good luck!

You might do all those things but the other people in the building might not be so clean. Tell your manager in writing  give him a copy and let him know if the problem isnt fixed in a timely manner you will put your rent in an escro account with the local courts.

As a tenant you have certain rights and responsibilities.\n\nPeaceful sleep and maintaining noise at a reasonable level past 9:00 PM are two of them.\n\nYour first step is to contact the landlord and explain the situation.  It is his responsibility to uphold the terms of your neighbor's lease.\n\nIf that doesn't help then you may contact the police.  Don't dial 911.  Call the local police station and explain the situation.  You need not call during one of their love sessions.\n\nIf that fails your next option is to contact the Housing Commissioner in your area.  Ultimately it is their responsibility to uphold all tenant and landlord issues.\n\nOf course you may also go directly to your neighbors.  But don't make the contact all about the complaint.  Invite them over for a cookout.  Then ask them "have you heard those people making all that racket in the middle of the night?  Who is that?  We just can't get any sleep when they are going at it!"\n\nThey will figure it out and you will save them the embarrassment.\n\nGood luck.
