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?

Possibility of being arrested????, 2/24/08, by Elizabeth.
