Question

I have been living with my mother in her apartment for the past 8 months. I am not on the lease. My mother passed away last week. The landlord is telling me I need to leave immediately because they have already accepted a deposit from someone who wishes to rent this apartment. Is this correct or does the landlord give me some sort of notice and evict me? The landlord refused to take the money from me for another months rent so will I be responsible for rent after June 1st if I am evicted?

Answer

Yes, you are a tenant and they must use the Court to evict you.
