I'll mention it to him but he's not likely to call one. - Krusty Jun 27, 11:32 11
- most urban areas have a tennents union/association with free legal advice for evictions -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 11:37
- even without a lease he may have a right to more notice. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:33 9
  - and in NYC the landlord can't lock someone out, they need to serve them with an official notice, then give them a reasonable amount of time - loosilu Jun 27, 11:39 8
    - it's not the landlord, though. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 11:40 7
      - the landlord is the one who is evicting him now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:40 6
        
        he's not the tenant. It's like if you went on vacation for 2 weeks and I 'rented' your apartment to amada without your knowledge. - decline Jun 27, 11:44 2
        
        er, the im should be 'amanda doesn't have any rights' -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:44 1
        
        lots of people in NYC don't have leases. they still have rights. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:45
        
        but he's not a tenant, then. he has no rights. spawn, you walk into your house and my mom is there and she says "I live here now. someone said I could - amanda Jun 27, 11:43 2
        
        the fact that he lives there gives him some rights. -- nm - loosilu Jun 27, 11:43 1
        
        this might be correct -- nm - zork Jun 27, 11:44
the lease he signed is invalid. he has no rights in landlord tenant law because he's not a legal tenant. jack? -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 11:29 7
- varies state to state, the landlord might have to go to court to prove he's the legal owner and that the contract/lease agreement is invalid -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 11:35 4
  - JACK. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 11:36 1
    - yeah, Jack is fired. -- nm - Max Jun 27, 11:43
  - Yeah I was wondering if the landlord isn't pulling something as he found someone who would rent it for more money... -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:36 1
    - *THAT* happened to my ex's sis family they move into a decent house in SoCal and the next weekend get a notice to move (m2m not leased) -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 11:39
- But I rented the Statue of Liberty fair-and-square! - Spawn Jun 27, 11:33
- I invoke the rights of maximum occupancy! -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:31
