My wife and I rent month to month w/o a lease (the written lease expired several years ago and the police said it doesn't carry any weight anymore).
The nuts and bolts:
We had trouble paying rent. Our landlord sent me a 30 day notice, he served me a court order, he didn't show in court. He sent me another 30 day notice, took me to court again, he was granted immediate possession. No fees, nothing owed, just possession.
My wife was never named. My wife was never noticed. My wife was never served. My wife has no order against her. Is this legal? Does she have to move out? Do I have to move out? How does one contest this when the sheriff shows up?
Extra: My landlord doesn't appear to know his rights, either.
Extra: I offered to catch up, but the landlord refused.
