Just got into a huge fight with the LL today due to no heat and no hot water. It was below zero outside the the room has been freezing for days. He threaten to evict us at the end of out conversation. Unfortunately we have no lease with him and we are forced to pay him by cash. My question is: Can he apply for eviction and evict us just like that without even give us 30day notice? Are we responsible for the eviction application fee if the LL wins?
In additons, the LL is holding an extra one month rent for security deposit. Suppose we are given 30 day notice to leave the house by the end of this month, could I apply that Security Deposit for next month's rent? Since there is no lease between us, I suppose the LL is not entitled to hold the security deposit?? I am pretty sure he is not going to return the deposit so I don't want him to withold the money from me.
Please help!!
