my landlord is evicting me for putting up a childrens pool even though IM under no lease and Ive lived here 17 years and had pools in the past. I am a disabled vet and my wife is also disabled. We live in a trailer park and cant afford to move our trailer.
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): Virginia Already Tried: Ive tried reasoning with him I took down the pool and asked him to reconsider but he wont budge. It makes no sense because in 17 years we never had a problem
You had the pools in the past without the landlord objecting to such?What type of notice did the landlord give you to vacate?
hand written 30 day notice. Ive had several pools in the past with no problem
The problem is - that the landlord doesn't need a reason to notice you to vacate IF he wants you to leave. If you have no lease- the landlord just must give you a 30 day notice to vacate.If you had a lease that wasn't expired- then the landlord would need a reason to evict you - the pool could be a basis of that.However, when there is no lease - the landlord can evict you at their whim or for no reason if they follow the state procedures.I can't think of a reason for you to object to being evicted if you don't have a lease which hasn't expired.Your only option is to contact the landlord and see if something can't be worked out otherwise for you to continue living there.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask!Please remember to only rate my answer when you are satisfied with my response.
