Landlord Question and Answer Forum

I recently found out my landlord house the house I am renting on craigslist to be rented in October. My lease ends in Feb. I am assuming he plans on evicting me, yet, I have not been served any paperwork. How long do I have from me being served to move out of the house? I have been time with my rent every month. This is all over my mothers dog that I now have, due to her passing away. Any input would be appreciated. Heidi

Are you on a long term lease or month-to-month? Is the dog a violation of your lease? I'm assuming yes. If so, you need to contact the landlord and explain your situation and see if something can be worked out. If not and you want to stay, you'll have to find the dog a new home. Don't get mad at the Landlord. YOU violated the agreement. Maybe you should have talked with Landlord before taking in the dog. Again, I'm assuming the dog is a lease violation. To answer your question about eviction, in CA it could happen in 3 Days. -----Disclaimer: Since I’ve been answering a lot of questions, I thought I would make the following statement. I’m not affiliated with EZlandlord Forms. I’m just here (not sure how long) to help those that have questions. Having 40+ yrs with Rental Property and done well, it’s my way of “Pay it Forward (check out the movie).” However, it is up to you to become familiar with your State/Local laws. I always like to know if the suggestions I offer are helpful. Feel free to comment anytime. Thanks in Advance.
