My landlord suddenly said, 'I forgot my daughter is getting married, you need to vacate the apartment.' I still had 6 months left on the lease. To be honest, I'm really shocked; what should be done in this situation? Do I have to move out, or should I defend my rights?
I've been through the same thing, my landlord said, 'My brother is going to the military, he needs the house.' But he couldn't do anything because of the rental agreement. In the end, you are right on paper, you can resist leaving. But try to resolve it without talking in a way that will ruin relationships.
Definitely read your contract, the circumstances under which your landlord can evict you are clear. Your daughter getting married is not one of them. Consult a lawyer or apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committee in your area, you'll figure it out.
To be honest, it doesn't seem like the landlord has bad intentions. It's strange that there hasn't been any planning for critical situations like your daughter's marriage, but maybe you've also been too laid back. Hasn’t it ever been discussed beforehand? 😬
Landlords must have specific reasons to evict a tenant. Personal situations, like marriage, are not direct grounds for eviction. However, if the case goes to court, the court generally considers claims of necessity. It would be beneficial to consult a lawyer.
Let me update you: I told the landlord, 'I’m also waiting for my contract to expire,' and he said, 'I thought you were a good person, but I will also defend my child’s rights.' It felt strange, like I was doing something wrong, as we were talking back and forth.
I think we should talk about these things from the beginning too. I initially said I would stay at the dorm for '6 months,' but then I extended it to a year so they wouldn't kick me out. But your guy has exaggerated a bit; he should try to choose a consistent path 🙄
Daughter, don’t let anyone take advantage of you. If someone put me in such a difficult position, I wouldn’t hesitate to go to a lawyer. I recommend that you talk to them in detail, standing firm but without upsetting them.
I understand that the landlord has the right to evict even if there is a contract in such situations. So if they present it as an urgent need, they might be justified. But I'm not sure, it might be partially correct.
