Do I understand this correctly - Your friend's mother was evicted and the landlord (who evicted your friend's mother) is refusing to give your friend information?\n\nIf your friend's mother was evicted, SHE should have that information - any information that is available.  I assume she does not care to share it with her son.\n\nThe landlord's attorney has confidentiality obligations to his client.  I don't believe the eviction and judgment dates are available on the Net (and may not be available to the public). \n\nYour friend should talk to his mother and get her to talk about what she knows.  Surely, she has been set notices if a forwarding address was given to the landlord and/or attorney.  \n\nI am not a lawyer.

It sounds as if this squatter is attempting to establish adverse possession of this property.  The rules vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but if this person is living in this place scott free and the owner knows, there is a period of time of doing so after which the squatter will be declared the legal owner of the property.  The owner must involve the police and child protective services.  This will establish a paper trail that demonstrates that the owner did not just know and accept her occupancy, but actually took measures to stop it.  The owner is unlikely to get in trouble for allowing this mom and her small children to live in his home up to now.  Clearly, though, it seems that these children might be better off in foster homes until the mom can get her act together and provide a suitable home for herself and for them.  I do not believe in creating homelessness situations, but I have given you the state of the law on the topic.  Best of luck to you (and the owner).

They couldn't possibly be just trying to prove a point, could they?  His parents are the ones responsible for bringing him into the world, so how can they justify making him responsible for preparing him to be self-sufficient?  There is no way they can collect on that bill; parents are legally responsible for their children's welfare until the age of 18.  They can legally kick him out of their house now that he's 18.  If I was your friend, I would move out as soon as possible, and try to make his parents understand their responsibilities.

He may have no choice, meaning that the tenant currently occupying the unit apparently has not left.  This actually happens more than you'd think.  To be able to force the tenant out, the landlord would have to evict and get restitution of the premises from a court order.  Then he'd have to make it ready for you as well.\n\nThat being said, the landlord should be prepared to address the fact that he cannot meet his contract terms (the move-in date).  No doubt your rent should be pro-rated for the days you can't be in the unit.  However, you might be able to negotiate an even better deal, and if YOUR landlord doesn't allow you to stay (see my comment above), you are at risk of potential court action and a negative landlord reference.  You should be compensated, perhaps in a small way, for that.

The landlord may want her out, but their ability to get her out depends on a lot of things, like her lease and the law in her area.\n\nIf her lease isn't up, they probably can't evict her until it is up ... but her state may allow people who are chronically late to be evicted, but it involves certain notices and is only for being late in the future and does not apply to past late payments. \n\nThe fact that she has a good excuse for being late really doesn't matter.  Her problems are not her landlords problems.  The fact that she was a good tenant before this (and presumably still will be) should have counted for something with her landlord, but as far as legally ... a landlord is under no obligation to wait for their money.\n\nIn any case, they can't just order her out.  They have to go through the courts to evict her, and frankly it doesn't sound like they currently have any cause for eviction.  \n\nIf your friend is a month to month tenant and there aren't any laws preventing the termination of a month to month tenant except for cause (such as non-payment of rent), the landlord may be able to terminate her tenancy and take her to court as a holdover tenant if she doesn't leave.  Some places have these laws, others don't.  You really need to find out what the law is in your area.

get someone you trust to watch the child on the day you are to be out and don't leave until you are arrested. sounds nuts i know, but if you believe you are in the right then the courts need to see it. don't be bullied because you are a single mom. defend yourself and your 'rights' as you would defend your child and his/her 'rights'. have some of your friends watch the house and once you are arrested your friends trash the place. it will end up costing the l.l. more than the 2 or3 months rent he lost.\n\nmy ex's x-wife did this (not leaving) and ended staying free for 6 months (and a couple of court datees), but in that time she was able to save enough for down payment on a house.

Contact the family court that issued the visitation order and let them know that the mother is violating it.  They should be able to provide you with guidance on what to do.

The reason why she didn't tell you is because she knew she had 8 months left. Don't even try to contact her. Sue her in civil court for breach of contract (the Lease Agreement) and whatever real damages you incur. lost rent while you were repairing the unit and or looking for another tenant.

Find a landlord and suggest he apply to be approved for section 8 housing. A friend of ours got us to apply to be section 8 landlords to help out a single mother who worked with her.

She can say it, but you can contest the decision if you can prove special circumstances in regards to who is named on the lease.  If it is in your name, she is wrong.  If it is in both your names, you need to show just cause for remaining as the primary resident/leasee.  If there are children involved that is one reason.  If utilities are in your name, that is another reason.  If you have no way of moving your belongings out I believe it must be paid for by the department who is telling you to move.  You need to find a legal aid society that can assist you at low or no cost.  If you were the victim of a violent crime, then they should assist you with a restraining order against him.  This is most likely why you are being asked to move...the restraining order is in the works & the P.O. wants to get you out before it is issued.  I don't know, it sounds biased, but I don't know all the facts.  Hope this gives you some ideas.

a friend does not go behind your back and do something as serious as that. look out for yourself. nobody else will. what if something happens during that lease. you are responsible for it not your friend. and any friend that would do that in the first place will not own up to any damages. evaluate your friendship. maybe it is time you got out of the lease with your friend as well. establishing your credit and good name is hard enough without having someone else dragging you down. i understand that you don't want to get them in trouble and if you can do it without getting them in trouble that is fine. but do you want to be in trouble if something happens. don't put yourself on the line especailly for someone that has no more respect for you than that. your friend may be able to go to the landlord and clear it up. this would show some redemption on their part. again look out for yourself. it may be okay and it may not. if given the option of paying a bill in your name or payiong a bill in his/her name which one would your friend pay? are they responsible enough to take care of the property that is being leased. if it is a house does anything go on their that you would not want associated with your name. talk to your friend and see if you can't come up with a simple solution. if not get your name off the lease however you can

i have a few friends who have won their cases against landlords who have refused to make repairs and neglected their tenants, in most cases they were allowed to stay in the apartment rent free for up to a year until all the repairs were made or they moved out.  but it is a big hassle because of the running back and forth to court and the living conditions decreased because the landlord would do things like turn of the water lights etc.. they would eventually get turned back on but it was a hassle

Unfortunately, while not fair, the law usually favors the tenant. Has your daughter offered her anything to move? That might be the only way. Or court?? Good luck to you both.

your friend can look into legal aid. Or call a lawyer and ask if they know any lawyers that can help.

The law that governs eviction is Fla. Stat. § 83.59 (2005)\nwhich basically says that A landlord can only evict through court proceedings, he cannot just give you a notice he has to sue(although the suit will be on the fast track) you. Basically if you refuse to move out Landlord cannot use self help to throw you out -- that will be assault, and he will need a court order to have a sheriff come and kick you out legally.\n\nHere is the statute in full: \nRight of action for possession\n\n\n   (1) If the rental agreement is terminated and the tenant does not vacate the premises, the landlord may recover possession of the dwelling unit as provided in this section.\n\n(2) A landlord, the landlord's attorney, or the landlord's agent, applying for the removal of a tenant shall file in the county court of the county where the premises are situated a complaint describing the dwelling unit and stating the facts that authorize its recovery. A landlord's agent is not permitted to take any action other than the initial filing of the complaint, unless the landlord's agent is an attorney. The landlord is entitled to the summary procedure provided in s. 51.011 [F.S. 1971], and the court shall advance the cause on the calendar.\n\n(3) The landlord shall not recover possession of a dwelling unit except:\n\n   (a) In an action for possession under subsection (2) or other civil action in which the issue of right of possession is determined;\n\n   (b) When the tenant has surrendered possession of the dwelling unit to the landlord; or\n\n   (c) When the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit. In the absence of actual knowledge of abandonment, it shall be presumed that the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit if he or she is absent from the premises for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments. However, this presumption shall not apply if the rent is current or the tenant has notified the landlord, in writing, of an intended absence.\n\n(4) The prevailing party is entitled to have judgment for costs and execution therefor.

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.
