You should get and study a copy of the Landlord Tennant Act for your area. It will tell you things like how a verbal contract holds up in court and what rights you have as a tennant, given that verbal contract.
I am only guessing here because I haven't looked at the Landlord Tennant Laws in several years (back when we had to take our landlord to court for helping himself to items in our storage unit), but my opinion is that you probably DO have a good case for a suit against the landlord for your damages.
You can also look for legal assistance. The ones that only take a percentage if you win, are generally the most reliable.
Good luck! What a crappy situation. :o( |

Oh my!~ That's wrong. I wish I could tell you exact legals of it but it's wrong! What kind of contract did you sign first of all? Did it say he could do that? I'm sure not! You need advise of an attorney. That's not right at all. |

What your landlord is doing is not legal. You could consult an attorney and sue but it would be expensive and you'd probably owe more in legal fees than you would get rewarded for. You could contact the police about all these relatives of the landlord entering your home without your permission. Write the landlord a letter asking to be compensated for your utlities that they used and tell them they are not allowed to enter your home without your permission and send it certified so you'll have proof you sent it in case you need it. There's not a whole lot you can do without paying big bucks for legal help but it's just nuts for them to allow their sister to move in the place you are renting. Even if they evicted you, by law they have to give you 30 days notice to move and still couldn't move anyone in there. I would call the police and tell them to kick that woman out of your place. If there is a lease or agreement with your name on it she is not allowed to be there. |

If this were in Ohio and if you have established residency, i.e. utilities in your name and mail delivered there for quite sometime you cannot be removed without eviction proceedings even if you are late on your rent. He also cannot allow anyone move in with you without your knowledge. In turn your landlord or anyone else cannot enter your house without your permission. In some cases the landlord can enter in an emergency (leaking pipes or other incident that can cause damage or injury) without notice but in most cases he has to give you 24 hours notice. I would call the police and check for your area and also get an attorney if you really want to stay at this place. But, if you do your landlord most likely will not make it a pleasant place for you from then on. |

that sounds like a crock of sh*t!, I mean really, she is having a laugh at your expense. Id go to a tenancy agreement site, a real estate agent etc and learn my rights as a renting tenant.
Where I live, the landlord has to give 24 hours notice before he/she can enter the property.

A landlord is only allowed to enter your place in case of emergency like a water or gas leak. Otherwise she needs to give you 24 hour notice and it has to be for a good reason. I would definitely either move or get a lawyer involved. There is no way that what she is doing is legal. Of course all this is based on the assumption that you are renting a house or an apartment and not just a room with her. |

People seem to think that by not having a lease you have no rights. That is not true. In many instances, it gives you MORE rights than if you had a lease.
You have a valid tenancy, lease or no lease, and thats all you need to be concerned about.
You need to contact a landlord tenant lawyer immediately in order for them to advise you on what to do. I wouldn't be so quick to move as it will affect the damages portion of your claim. |

NO POSSIBLE WAY!
get in touch with your state's attorney general
without your approval--and if your rent is paid--that is YOUR place |

I would find a new place to live as soon as possible. Give your landlord a written letter stating 30 days notice of evacuation. Make sure you send it to her through the mail and pay for Delivery Confirmation. Keep a copy of the same letter for proof of notifying the landlord of your intention to move out. In the meantime, you can go to www.google.com and do a search in your state of "tenants rights". There should be a contact number you can call, to find out your rights, in this particular situation. The situation does not sound legal to me, but I am not an attorney. |

I am having problems with my landlord at the moment. There not as bad as your though. Go to the search engine and type in Tenants Rights and your state. Like I typed in Tenants rights in upstate NY. They are really pushing actually over pushing their boundaries on you. You might be able to sue. Since you have no lease and I don't either, either you or them gives you 30 days to move out. 30 days is the law. |

MOVE OUT WITHOUT PAYING YOUR RENT. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LIVE. |

There really isn't much to say besides move. Chances are you claim for damages is very small, so you might consult a lawyer but it is probably just time to move on. |

Even if she is your landlord it's called breaking and entering. File charges. The landlord can't enter you place without your permission or probable cause. Probable cause is she's afraid you're dead, she smells smoke, something like that. File charges. and don't pay the rent. move out. |

move there is a lot of places to go but get a lawyer so you don't have to pay the rent get some evidence of what they do |

I think they have broken their deal of the contract and that you should get out of that place asap. There is help out there through rental agencies. Your land lord is screwing you over big time and you have every right to break the lease. |

sue or move |

A landlord is to give a 24 hour noitice before entering, allso there must be some one there while they are there. They have the right to inspect their properity. They dont have the right to move anyone in without your permission. The landlord should not store anything where you are renting, keep rent paid up and apply to small claims court. |

no, no ,no. not a commune. not a family. this is not right. she can not enter, ever, if you are not there, and must give you notice ahead of time to get in. put your own pad lock on the laundry room, if it's not your machines, you can share but talk over the hot water issue. late with rent, even during mardi gras in new orleans no one can move in. wait you're not telling all. are you renting a room, if so. she can do any of this. if it is your house, what are you kidding, that you don't know. her sister is out of jail and living with you. no, you are leaving something out dear. you have lost your credibility now. |

I am a landlord. Even if you do not have a written lease, you have a "month to month" lease. She is not allowed to enter your home without your consent. If repairs need to be done she is required to give you written notice of "intent to enter". Call the police, Tell them her relative is trespassing and will not leave your home. They will remove her.If she wants you to leave she must put her request in writing. If you decide not to leave she will have to file eviction papers with the court. If you still decide not to leave she will have to file additional paper with the court. A sheriff will serve you with papers as to the date you are to appear in court. Then you can explain all this to a judge in small claims court. No need to spend money on a lawyer. The process is very connect the dots. Don't be intimidated. You are in the right. Besides the court almost always rules in favor of the renter.It will be a good learning experience for you. |

A lease protects YOU and the landlord .. so if you didn't sign a lease there is not a whole lot you can do other than find a new place to live.
Without the lease, you are living there 'at will'. |
