He is just as bound by the lease as you are. He isn't thinking straight. He is going through a tough time, and is counting on his bullying to work. Stay put or bargain. I'm sure your lease has penalties for breaking it that you would have to pay in order to leave early. Hold him to those same penalties. That is only what is fair. If he won't pay up, hunder down and get a lawyer. This is a simple matter, it shouldn't cost you more than moving would.
BTW, what does his profession have anything to do with it? |

I do not know where these other people live,
In the US he can move into his own property. This is completely legal.
No one who owns property can be forced into homelessness. He has to give you a 60 day notice that he is moving back in. |

Your situation is governed by state and local law. Google your state + "tenant rights".
Splitting up means what? Trial separation? Living together but hollering all the time? Sneaky knife attacks at night? Final divorce papers? Push back on this guy--he might enter counseling and learn to love that ********* once again.
Some states allow eviction for no cause, and it takes longer, but throws you out on the street just the same. Often there are laws that allow a landlord to end a lease if the landlord or his family need the house.
So, he might be able to do this. You might phone your local tenant rights organization and he may end up on a friend's couch for the rest of the lease, or you may be packing. Depends on how your state treats the situation. |

It's his property and he can ask for it back any time he wants to. A landlord can end your lease with 30 days notice. You need to find a place by September 1st. If he has to go through the courts to get you out, you'll end up paying the court cost. |

Actually there may be nothing that you can do. You signed a lease with him but depending on where you are he did not agree to adefined time of stay. So he may be totally within his legal right to do it in your location. Many many times the lease is protection for the landlord but not the tenant. I know you do not want to hear this but it is true. So check the laws in your region. |

First, check your lease agreement. The one I use in Florida says the tenant OR the landlord can break the lease with 30 days written notice. Second, check the tenant-landlord laws in your state as all states are different. You can search, for example, "Florida tenant landlord laws" and you should find your state statutes which spells out your rights and responsibilities as well as those of your landlord. If you still have questions or can't find a good solid answer, definitely go see an attorney. Many will do a free initial consultation. |

He has money tell him to go somewhere else but get a lawyer |

He can't do that! It's a TWO-WAY contract.
You can't get out of it, and neither can he.
So what if he has money? Tell him you will be out if he pays for ALL of your utility transfers, deposits, moving expenses, lost time from work, etc.
Other than that, tell him to go rent an apartment.
He cannot even legally evict you as long as you are paying and he cannot change a SINGLE part of your lease.
Advice: Starting right now, ONLY pay him by check and every check you mail him do it certified mail with signature required. |

He can't do that. You can sue him in small claims court. |

Nope. He can't sign a lease with you and then unjustly evict you. Visit the website below. Give this same story, but also include your state (maybe even City) and a legal representative will give you advice. You may be told to visit an attorney, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Do this right away. Also start looking up attorneys in your area. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. Don't tell the dude what you're doing. If I were you, I would ask him to write a letter stating that he is evicting you and why. If he does this, that will be paydirt. To put his dumb reasons on paper will show that he is intentionally breaking your lease for his own personal reasons, which is against the law.
Good luck, but start fighting!! |

He has to get a judgment of eviction and you need to get a lawyer. Most lawyers don't charge for the first appointment. Go see one. In the meantime, tell your landlord, that you are not going anywhere without an eviction judgment. |
