I have a question for a friend:
Situation is this. Friends mother passed away, house
left in will to 3 adult children. 1 Son living in
residence, 2 others not living at residence.
House up for sale nearing end of first year (reverse
mortgage siuation).
2/12/08
I enter verbal agreement with son living t house. I rent
room for 1 month Paid rent in the amount of $300.00 +
services to retain room for 1 month (30 days). Rent paid
from 2/12/08-3/12/08.
Subsequently on 2/14/08 Son was taken into custody.
(Charges completely unrelated.)
2/23/08
Received phone call while at work from his sister who
demanded that I vacate the said property immediately.
2/23/08
Rec’d phone call from Deputy of local Police Department
who told me I had no rights, advised homeowner to take my
property and store in garage and change locks at residence
and said I would be arrested for B & E if I returned to
the property.
2/23/08
Called watch commander at station and discussed the
situation and the phone conversation I had with Deputy.
She (Watch Commander) told me that Deputy had spoken to
her about the situation and that the property owner
(sister)has stated that I had already been served the
correct paperwork. UNTRUE To this day I have never been
served any paperwork. My rent is paid and I think I do
have rights to retain peaceful residency there for the the
remainder of the month that is paid or upon receiving
legal eviction notice.
Can you please advise?
