christy c | Can my landlord evict me because she doesn't like children? |
She has been threatening to evict because some of the neighborhood children come over and play with my kids in the yard.They are not harming anyone or anything but my new neighbor who is almost 100 has been complaining constantly.Also the place is falling down around me and I want to know if I can have it condemned. |

Either way, you're out of an apartment...better start looking! |
|

no she can not do this. I would however call a city inspector and see about your other issues. If they deem it necessary then they can condemn the place but then you have no where to live as well. This will make greater waves with your landlord so be prepared to move. |

Depends on if you have a lease... if you do no, if not yes |

I think, by law, a landlord can't evict someone, because of having children. Maybe you could make sure the kids don't make too much noise. |
|

It obviously isn't a case of her "not liking children" or you wouldn't have gotten the apartment in the first place. It is the behavior and actions of your kids and their friends.
If the place is unsafe they why are you living there in the first place, much less worrying about being asked to leave. You can't have it both ways.
But, to answer your question, if the kids prevent someone's reasonable quiet enjoyment you can be held accountable.
Have you considered having your kids charm her instead of being so noisy? |

Lawfully your landlord can not use that as an excuse to evict you. That's discrimination. Also, that's what deposits are for, to pay for damages that may be incurred by your children. As far as your neighbor, she can complain all she wants. You and your family has a right to live where you wish. As far as the building condition, you could anonymously call the county housing commission or another agency to come over and take a look for violations. Good luck. |

"Also the place is falling down around me and I want to know if I can have it condemned."
So why did you move in to begin with?
Where are you going to live if you succeed?
And why would you want to live there if it is in such bad condition? |

Well she cannot evict you just because you have kids. The judge would laugh at her and she needs a judge's mandate to evict you.
If you find that the place is not up to standards and your landlord is not willing to make improvements, you have little recourse.
The only thing you can do is contact a lawyer and make her uphold to her part of your lease. Her part being that you live in a safe and stable residense. |

You cannot legally be evicted because of your kids unless they are violating local noise ordinance. If the property is so poorly maintained that it is creating a safety hazard, you should complain to your local board of housing.
I'd look up the laws in your area and write a dated letter to the landlord stating what the law says about your situation. Be nice, but clear. Keep a copy for yourself. Sometimes just showing you know your rights will shut people up. |

Make happy with the landlord. The 100 yr old has probably been there 50 years! If the landlord did not write into your lease, etc., that children are not allowed, you are o.k.....as LONG as they do NOT bother the other residents. Keep the kids doing something that does not interfere with the other's life........napping, watching t.v., whatever. I'm a landlady, too. |

as long as you have a rental agreement and you pay rent timely, he cannot evict you for not "liking children". Only if you agreed to rent the apartment for say 2 people, and then you brought another three to live with you.
But for noisy children they should at the MOST report to the police, but they cannot evict you on that basis alone.
You may threaten back if he doesn't get his act together and make repairs to his "falling apart" place.
You have as much rights to a decent place for the money you pay, just as he has to collect the rent from you. |

no, she can't evict you unless there was something in your lease contract that said: no children. But she may try to evict you as someone disturbing the peace of other residents and for that reason I'd contact a housing rights group in your local area as soon as possible, or legal advice group (Citizens Advice if you're in the UK). By law you have the right to certain amenities functioning and you can bring her to court if she doesn't provide them but again, you'd want to document everything and bring it to the housing rights group. |

there is no legal backing because it is right to have kids and it is very normal for other kids to come around to have fun with your kids.although your neighbor has the right to her privacy ,well i suggest you look for an alternative accomodation or you find a way of controling your kids so they won't disturb your neighbor.yes she has the right to evict you only if ypur children are disturbing their privacy. |

Find another place to live. An eviction would really harm your credit.
Meanwhile, remind your landlord (pleasantly) that it is illegal to discriminate against families with children. Offer to do some of the repairs if the landlady will pay for the parts/supplies.
You'll get more with honey than vinegard. Sounds like your neighbor is lonesome. Perhaps the children would put on a skit for her or read to her if they are old enough. It's amazing what can happen with the right outlook. |

There is no way she can legally evict you from your home because you have children. She would be in direct violation of the Fair Housing Act of 1968. You can not discriminate against someone based on familial status, meaning she can't evict you just because you have kids. If she tries, she can face severe penalties, and you can be compensated.
As far as the condition of the house, if it has problems that she is unwilling to fix, there are many laws on the books that protect you as a renter. In some cases, you can fix the property out of the rent check you would normally pay her. Talk to your local legal aid department about what protections you may have.
Good luck. |
