Can a landlord kick you out for getting pregnant?
we have several problems with the landlord anyway, but now this?? is it legal? and just found out they knew there was black mold here before we moved in and didnt even let us know.if anyone knows a website that shares if it is legal to kick a tenant out for being pregant please share it with me. thank you

Do you have renter's insurance? If you don't your best bet is to talk to a lawyer, but as far as I know, they can kick you out at any time for any reason as long as they own the place. Sounds like you need to look for something else anyway. You may have a case though.Contact a lawyer near you and ask for a free consult. I'm sure they'd be happy to help.

No, it's not legal. If he does, sue him.

Did they actually say "I see you are pregnant. I want you out." or did they say "Occupancy is limited to two people as the apartment is only ____ square feet per the occupancy limits of this town, so you are going to have to move" or some other good reason?

Why wuld you want to expose your baby to a black mold situation? If you can prove they rented the unit to you knowing about that defect, you may be able to sue them for moving expenses.

I really doubt it, file a formal complaint with the Landlord and Tenant Act and make your case heard.


ICHOOSETOTELLTHETRUTH
Here's a site where you can go for the laws in your... State... sometimes landlords do not share these laws with the tenants and more or less your left in the dark about your rights.
Every state is different in the ways they make them laws up. There's two sates in the USA that has to this day to pass laws to protect the tenants. http://www.uslandlord.com/ just go to Laws & Statutes and then pick the state you live in theres you laws up-dated at the time you go on this site.

This way its good to know you right unless, some people end up with a bad landlord because... there bluff works most of the time because of lack of knowledge of your rights.
After you have looked at your rights and theirs.
Then you know where you can go as far as taking up for yourself.
If your civil rights has been broking you can call your local...Legal Aid and they will give you the number of a Pro-Bone-O Lawyer the help you in any problems you endure.*
http://www.lawyers.com/ is a site where you can talk to a chat with an attorney live also on there site... you can get a lawyer in your home town if you wish to go that way.

As far as I know it's only legal if there's something in your lease stating no kids or that only a certain number of people can live in the apartment. You can call a lawyer in your state and get a free initial consultation, they'll be able to give you more detailed info as well as a course of action.

Mold = Sick Baby.

Take the opportunity to move.

The landlord cannot legally evict you on the grounds that you're pregnant EVEN IF YOU SIGNED A LEASE THAT SPECIFIES NO CHILDREN OR SPECIFIES A LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED IN THE HOUSEHOLD. The landlord has no way of knowing the outcome of your pregnancy, so restrictions in the lease concerning children or the number of people allowed to live in the household don't apply to being pregnant. The landlord has no idea whether you're going to have the baby, give the baby up for adoption, have a miscarriage, or have an abortion. And even if you told him you were going to keep the baby, he still has to wait until you actually bring the baby home. But until then, you have done nothing to violate the lease.

It sounds like the landlord is trying to evict you because he doesn't want to be liable for any long term birth defects or illnesses associated with the mold problem. I would call the local housing authority to inquire about filing a complaint. Then I would call the health department and report the landlord.

As long as you pay on time they should not care. Maybe they have something personal against you, and they are trying to push you out. If they force you out you should look up a civil rights agency in your area. What they are doing is discrimination. Good luck.


D'archangel
Unless the lease that you signed specified no children, it's not legal at all. I'd take it up with the local housing authority if I were you. Or, if that's not an option for some reason, find a good lawyer.


Back Porch Willy
Several responses have mentioned a "no kids clause", that is totally immaterial, the unborn are not recognized by our courts as children. Generally speaking they can not kick you out for that, but GOTHIC MARTHA may be right about them fearing liability if you child has health problems. You need to speak with a good lawyer


Tweek
No, it is not legal for a landlord to evict you for being pregnant.
Unless you have signed a contract which prohibits children, you cannot be evicted.
The black mold is a major issue. You could go to your local Codes office and place a complaint, however, the Codes Dept. will probably tell you that it would be in your best interest to move. The mold issue would have to be corrected and then reinspected by Codes Dept. If the landlord refuses to correct the problem, it then becomes a long Court issue, plus possible retaliation from the landlord.
Removing black mold can be involved. The source of the mold has to be found and then corrected or the problem will keep coming back. Spraying a solution of Clorox and water will kill the visible mold but not the source.
If your landlord is giving you a hard time, then it would be in your and your baby's best interest to find another apt. His attitude will not change and there is no reason why you should have to put up with it. Best of luck to both of you mommy!

Hell no, that is so wrong, report him.


Ketty87
Are you sure he's kicking you out for getting pregnant?The mold is unsanitary for you and your baby, risking your health for money is illegal.Check PTLA.org,it states that is illegal for a landlord to kick you out because you have a child or you become pregnant.Click on DISCRIMINATION to view.

No your landlord can't do that, they are leaving themselves open for a lawsuit.

They are kicking you out so they don't have to fix the black mold and to avoid a lawsuit if your baby has health problems! How lazy! Shame on them! I wish you all the luck,and congrats on the baby!
