If a landlord evicts you for an immediate family member yet rents it out to the public what can you do?

The landlord evicts you, for an immediate family member to move in. Yet after we move out, he puts the house up for rent, not moving the family member in. We had someone inquire about the house to see if it was ours, and it was. Is there anything I can do to the landlord, for evicting on false actions.|||You can't be evicted for relatives, only if the owner wants to reside on their property themselves.





I would take this back up with the judge that signed the eviction, it was incorrect to start with.|||If your lease was up for renewal or you were on a month to month lease, you can be asked to move out, no reason needed. It is a two way street - the tenant can decide to move with appropriate notice, or the landlord can decide to have the tenant move out with appropriate notice. Neither the landlord nor the tenant needs to have a reason to end tenancy.





My guess is, there is something that upset the landlord, and he decided he wanted you out. Unless it was in the middle of a lease, that is his right.|||The landlord told you he wanted the house for a family member, so evicted you. Family member didn't move in. It doesn't matter. Family member may have changed their mind. A landlord can evict with 30 days notice and they do not have to give you a reason even if you've been the perfect tenant. There is nothing you can do.|||The landlord doesn't need to give a reason just 30 days notice most places if you aren't on a lease. So telling you a false reason may have been to prevent you fighting them on it or to save your feelings.


He could have meant to move in family then changed his mind and not wanted you back. Sometimes changing tenants is good for raising the rent when you might not with existing tenants.|||As long as he didnt break the lease agreement, he didn't do anything wrong. If you didn't have a lease signed, you're considered month-to-month, and as long as he gave you 30 days notice, it's still legal. If you signed a lease, and he went through the legal process to actually evict you....my bet is he had a lot more on you than just "wanting a relative to move in".|||First he would have to give you a 30 notice to move out. If he didn't do this he broke the law. Did you have a lease with him? I'd go talk to the housing authority about this one as it sounds shady to me.|||He cannot evict you without good reason. Late rent, damage to property, etc. He just cannot evict you because he wants a family member to move in.|||Can you please clarify this question? Not to sure exactly what has happened.
