I took care of an elderly woman for 12 years. I was young and thought I was in the lease but I wasn’t. Sadly she passed away. We’re dealing with the covid-19 right now and it’s hard to find someplace else to live. The leasing office told me at first that I was allowed to stay but then I could move to a 1 bedroom when 1 becomes available but then they told me that I had 5 days after the patient died to move out. However, it’s been over a month and no final decisions have been discussed. I’m still looking for a place but it’s hard in times like this. What are my rights?
Yes you can certainly be evicted. However, the courts are currently closed and set to open June 8th. It is unclear when the courts will hear any landlord/tenant issues. In addition, no evictions can occur by order go the Governor.
The landlord would most likely have to file a wrongful detainer, regain legal possession, file a warrant o restitution, and schedule the eviction with the Sheriff's office. Prior to the pandemic, this process would typically take 6 weeks to 10 weeks depending not he county. With the COVID situation, I would imagine this would be doubled if not tripled due to the back long of cases.
Contact an attorney to negotiate your exit.
Divorce
I have a friend whose husband is abusive and has had several affairs which she is now aware of. He verbally, mentally and physically abuses her and their son. She is scared and afraid to do anything. He has threatened her with desertion, adultery and being an unfit mother. That is why she is scared. She has pictures of holes he has put in the walls and a broken window which he threw a cell phone at. I am her friend and I am a male, he has accused her of being with me and others she works with. She has proof he has committed adultery. Several witnesses of his violent out burst around their neighborhood.
If she did leave him could she stay with whoever she wanted and be protected by them and the law? What else does she need to do? Please help on this before he does something worse to her.
I was wondering. When I was divorced the decree says I shall pay my husband $15,000.00 if I were to ever sell my home. He has now been diagnosed with cancer in which he is terminal. My question is that he has since remarried. Can his current wife come after me for the money? We have a son together and have discussed that he would end up with most things. (nothing in writing).
He has been on disability a long time and the current wife does not work. So he can't afford to have a will drawn up.
Marital property
My mother owns a house in South Carolina in which I live in with my daughter while my husband is serving in Iraq. My mother re-married and now lives in North Carolina with her new husband. My question is, if something happened to my mother would her husband now have any rights to the house she owns in South Carolina? What can she do to keep it from falling into his hands which she is trying to prevent from happening? She has owned the home in South Carolina for more than 20 years.
