They have probably figured a way to bilk money from the government by doing this. |

Since they have the legal right to terminate your lease on adequate notice, you're stuck. Any property owner can, and should, find the best and most profitable use of his property. |

That's not the alcoholics and drug users' fault, that's the fault of the owner. Because he couldn't get his price, he's going for a tax write-off. Sorry, but if you're renting, you've got very little power. |

don't be mad at the recovering people, be angry with the owners. it is not their fault the owners are trying to sell it. |

I'd say the recovering drug addicts are alcoholics are innocent in this. How would they know the owners had kicked people out of their homes, in order to do this?
I'm sorry this is happening to you and your son though. I hope you can find a new home quickly. |

Your landlords have every legal right to do with their property what they wish for the most part. Though you may find it offensive, they are probably trying to stay afloat financially, and the property, as it stands, is operating at a loss. They may have discovered that using it as a rehab will help them break even or better. I can't really fault them for looking out for themselves.
I have rented property before, and when I realized how much money it was costing, I sold it. I had to because I actually needed the money. I was sad that I had to ask them to move out, but I couldn't be expected to lose money so as to house people no matter how much I liked them.
Sorry if I offend. |

if someone else owns it then you made your home in their house.
That probably means you are paying rent.
This is some one Else's property and they can do as they like within the law.
Its also called business.
Just another inconvenient truth. |

I'd be POed for sure. this is one of the reasons I bought my house this year. I'd like to see them TRY to take my house. I have more arms and ammo than the police department does. |

Your question was misleading, just so you know. It is not the "recovering alcoholics, and drug users" taking over your home. It is the land lord who is letting them move in. I am getting the sense that the land lord/ owner is trying to make money off these people. They can get paid money if they cater to certain kinds of recovering persons. More money than if they were to rent to regular everyday folks. Money rules over everything else in the business world. If I had a property that I could not sell and I was offered a good amount of money to turn it into a "halfway house", I might think about it. I also get the sense that you don't like the people moving in. That is an issue you will have to deal with. Being asked to leave is not being told to leave. Try getting pity from someone else. |

Since they own the property they can pretty much do with it what they want. Hope they know what they're getting into and I feel sorry for you and your former neighbors. |

First, sorry to hear this. But, since you're not the owner, I guess they can do what they want with the place. Rehabs are in great demand so I'm sure they must be getting a nice amount from somebody for doing this.. I hope they gave you enough time for you and your son to find a place. Hope the next will be even a nicer one.. good luck.. |

This is a very interesting question. It just so happens that I am a recovering pain killer addict. I had to go to a rehabilitation home to get cleaned up once and for all for 1 year. These are also called half way houses or sober living houses and they are of such help to the suffering addict or alcoholic that they can't keep up with the demand for these houses. I am sorry to hear that they are asking you to move but with the market today and the fact that they can not sell the house they have chosen a wonderful way to keep the house paid for or 4-plex as you mentioned and be doing a service to the community at the same time. They can move in many people into a 4-plex because usually these half way houses and sober living houses put 3 people into each room. That many people in each room at a 4-plex will be a very nice income while not being able to sell the house. Great idea as far as I'm concerned at least in a business sense. Again I'm sorry that you and your son will have to move....just be glad you don't need this type of house for yourself! It's not an easy life and these houses help make it easier. Good Luck. |

Moving might be a Blessing in disguise ? Do you really enjoy this place that much ? If so ; I would first check to see if the owners are being truthful ! I would contact the city or county zoning commission to see if a request has been made to license such a place in the area the 4 plex is located ! You can`t just throw up a rehab center anywhere you want ! Is there a liquor store nearby ? How close is the nearest school ? How heavy is the traffic flow in the area ? What is the feeling of the rest of the neighborhood renters and homeowners ? Next , I would check with the rest of the tenants in your building and see if they are being told the same story . If you find that the reason you are being told to vacate is false , then you have legal options. If the landlord lied , I believe I would just get my deposit back and find a better place. Pray and remember ; " Every cloud has a silver lining". |

You are a renter, and that is something you have to deal with. BUY a house, and you won't have this problem.
And saying "so-called" recovering addicts is totally uncalled for. As a recovered addict since 1998, I can tell you that people CAN and DO get better. But many have to have help to do it. I've been clean for 9 years now (and I OWN my house...)
EDIT: SORRY TRY AGAIN! THE LIBERAL STANCE WOULD BE THAT A LANDOWNER DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO KICK YOU OUT, AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE IN THE ACTIONS OF A LANDOWNER.
CONSERVATIVES BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT OF THE LANDOWNER TO DO WITH HIS PROPERTY WHAT THEY SEE FIT.
SO ACTUALLY, IT'S YOU WHO SOUNDS LIKE THE LIBERAL, WHINING FOR SPECIAL INTERFERENCE IN THE RIGHTS OF A PROPERTY OWNER .. |

if you have a lease they can not break it until your lease expires
if you don't have a lease then you are S.O.L.
if you want to prevent this in the future than own your home |

This is a switch. Blame recovering druggies and alkies instead of President Bush? Wow!
What does your lease say about being asked to leave the premies? |

Wait...so you don't own the home???? well then find another place to live....how on earth is this the fault of alcoholics and drug users....wouldn't you have had to leave anyways(if they had sold it for the outrageous 800,000 asking price). |

sorry dear, but it is not "your home" in that sense...you are a renter, therefore your landlord who actually owns the property and can do with it as he pleases, subject to any applicable local laws.
it is not only legal, but it is perfectly normal and not at all unethical...and "what" the intended use of the property is is entirely immaterial.
sorry you have to move, but that it the lot of a renter... |

It is legal provided they are giving you 60 days notice.
You are renting, the owners are free to do with their property as they please, and apparently they have chosen to set up a business. Provided they give you sufficient notice they are well within their rights.
Think of it as an opportunity to find a new and better home. Anger is natural, however it is a complete waste of energy. |

You can not put a facility like that in a residential area without getting consent from the local government. Typically there would be a hearing at City Council, calling for locals to put their two cents in before the council decides whether or not the facility can be put there.
If there were meetings, you should have gone and protested. IT might not have changed things, but at least you know you tried. If there were no meetings, you check the sanctions of your area. It might actually be illegal! |

Of course it's legal. They own the property and they can do what they want with it.
And what's wrong with using it for a rehab? What do you have against sick people? Would you be this upset if they were going to use it for a cancer treatment center?
Where do you get off thinking you're such a "good" family with an attitude like this? |

Yes it is legal and yes they can evict you as long as your lease is up and you are on a month to month lease ... Good luck kiddo....Its not worth fighting for |
