So here's the back story.
We moved in to a place that was supposed to be 150 a week, but a two person apartment with 2 beds was 200, we took it.
Fast fwd a few months my girlfriend goes to jail for 2 and a half to 3 weeks for some old 2014 warrants. The landlord agrees to work with me. Im out of work but had one more check coming in. I got that check and paid him 3 weeks ahead. So my girl gets out to a job termination.
The man agrees to give us a break and allow us to get on our feet. The next day he ask my girlfriend (former dancer) to go sleep with 10 men for 200 dollars(pretty sure thats illegal) she declines and gets upset and says we need to pay 200 asap..so we reluctantly pay it. Screw him we need this place..
So we work out an agreement, 250 a week 200 for rent 50 for arrears. We do good were paying on time.
Last week we do some work around his properties and pay him for 2 weeks. The would be due date comes around and his wife comes demanding the weekly payment. I explain to her and show her the receipts for last week, she's addiment that we owe her and says she will start eviction process for non payment.
Today we get the notice. Its addresses to( fake names used here) Billy and Crystal Towers says we owe 500(?) And if not we must be out on 9/16/2019 no time given.
Geez I'm trying to keep this short I hope someone is still with me.
So my issues are this.
1. The wife is not the frickin landlord, the dude is, I made the agreement with him, he's out of town, and his wife trying to steam roll us.
2. I'm about 95 percent sure the vacate notice is not legal. She doesn't name correctly, it doesn't include a date and TIME as per the state statue requires.
Furthermore it doesn't list the supposed weeks we so called didn't pay. Also, we were home, our door unlocked and she placed it outside our door. The law says it's supposed to be hand delivered unless she can't get in. She just did not want to see us face to face. She knows we leave back door open too.
Last she is not the landlord and she is the only signature listed. I know she does not have the authority to evict us.
3. We have had on going issues but have been afraid to press them since we are in this payment agreement. But one is We have asked for a smoke detector for months now, and they have yet to install one. The apartment came equipping with 2 beds 2 people, furnished by the landlord. The landlords wife came 2 months ago and took one bed despite mybprotest I needed it for my back!! She promised to bring one but never did. We were paying for that!!
And last they enter our home to inspect with no notice what so ever whenever they want.
Is it too late to pursue action on our end.
I am going to appeal the order, she thinks we will be out in 3 days ha, good luck. I'd much rather work it out, but she is being unreasonable.
Oh btw she had my gf go with her to a alhigh powered nurse job and take a test for her because she has no understanding if anything. Should I report her to her employer now or later
PS, the church gave them a check for a hundred dollars based on a notarized statement from the landlord that they would allow us a payment plan. We have the dang paper. Now they are trying to opt out of it
