Landlord wants me out in a month and a half. She is my mother and we are having a family feud. Live in a 3 family house and haven't had formal lease for 20 years. Paid rent by check, never writing "rent" on check. She recently raised my rent 40%. Had her write a letter stating she could not raise rent again for one year. Letter states: "...for a one year tenancy commencing on Dec. 1, 2011, ending on Nov. 30, 2012 at a monthly rental of..."
Again, this is just a letter signed by all parties, not a formal lease. Can she get me out in that short time period? We are a family of four and in process of buying home. Hopefully it can be done in time but if not I am worried. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
