My landlord came over the 30th, she started out by saying she was there to collect the rent, I told her we didn't have it which she already knew cuz my husband is not working due to an injury on the job and we are fighting with his company to find out when he will be getting paid. She knew all of this before she came over, and I told her and she tried turning it around saying she was told she was goin to get the money. She asked what we were goin to do since we didn’t have rent, which rent wasn’t due until the 1st with a 5 day grace period, I said well if your goin to change your mind then we will be moving out, So then she flipped out and said she wanted us out that night, and she has a key and would be back the next day with her husband. I said ok and started to close the front door. She then put her foot in the way of the door closing and forced her way into the house. I asked her to leave several times and told her I would be callin the cops if she didn’t. She refused. She finally left and said we had until the end of the weekend to be out. I then called the police to make sure it was documented just in case they came back. She then called later that same nite apologizing for what she had done and we had an agreement that I would call her on the 5th cuz we had planned on talking to someone on the 4th to try to find out when my husband would start getting paid. She said ok well call me the 5th. As of that I thought everything was ok. Today –Monday- this lady comes over tryin to serve us with eviction papers, which weren’t even legal, and she asked for our garage door opener. We said no, and gave her what she needed of the papers back and said we weren’t signing them cuz they didn’t even go through a legal process. On there “eviction notice” they are saying we owe them $ 1550.00, They are saying as of October 1st. The 1000.00 from that is Decembers rent, and 50.00 is from a check that we stopped payment on after my husband basically lost his job, cuz we didn’t have that money, which we told them prior to tryin to cash the check, and they did it anyway, and then told us it was goin to go through another time. then the 500.00 was the rest of the deposit which was what the check was written for, but that was also agreed that we would only have to pay at least 100.00 along with rent to complete the deposit amount. Of course they said they had no idea about that as well. I guess my question Is, since she came into the house without my permission then failed to leave when repeatedly asked to, is that her going against the lease agreement, and how long does it take for the whole eviction process to go through? We plan on moving out anyway, because these landlords change their minds along with the weather and I just can’t handle now things coming out. To me it’s a way for them to get money because they can’t seem to sell the house we are renting and they already bought another house. So they have 2 mortgages, 2 kids, other bills. Which is completely understandable if they need the help, but they seem to be taking advantage of the situation, telling us we can to one thing, and then when something goes wrong they change there minds. Please help. And I will take any other information you can give as well
Additional Details
Im not 3 days late, i said there is a 5 day grace period, meaning i have til the 5th of the month, and im sure she doesn't have the right to come into the house when she hears something she doesn't like, especially after telling her to leave. She was over on the 30th asking for money, which in the lease she doesn't legally have rights to til the 1st, and she has to give us notice first to give us a chance to pay or fix whatever was wrong, which there was nothing, and like i said the eviction wasn't even legally done.
