Hello & thanks in advance for reading any any advice.
In early June 2012 I received a notice of non renewal of lease from my landlord informing me that I will not be able to renew in Sept.
The notice only included me even though there was a total of 4 (counting me) in a 12 month lease which was due to expire in Sept.
The other three roommates were allowed to stay without issue.
I paid my rent with direct deposit every month, didnt produce any damage to the room, apt as a whole, or garage aside from two small oil stains which I cleaned.
When I called to find out why I got this letter I was dumb struck by the explanation that she was taking the garage out of the lease and that is why I would not be allowed back. Offering to park the cars elsewhere didn't change her mind. Now its my opinion she kicked me out bc I wanted the garage door fixed as it would fall off the track due to a missing wheel and once gave me a concussion. She consistently said it was to expensive to fix. The door did get fixed maybe a month before I left with maybe 30$ worth of parts.
Fast forward to today I receive (i believe on accident) an email from her to the other roommates that only people in my old Apt may use the driveway. I have in writing that this was the reason I was not allowed back into the Apt. Also in the same letter she goes on to say I was an excellent tenant.
MY Q's
-Has my old landlord broken the law?
-Can I take her to court?
-Roughly what are the odds of winning?\
Thanks again
