I recently moved out of my parents' home and finally had a place to call my own. Becoming a homeowner and renting my first apartment was both rewarding and extremely stressful. However, after a few months things went bad fast when my landlord was trying to get me evicted from the premises. I was always in such a rush to get away from my parents but during this ordeal I wanted nothing more than to move right back in to my childhood bedroom. I hope my knowledge of these issues will help you from repeating my mistakes and will lead you to a better renting experience.
I have been saving for several years to have enough money to be able to live on my own for at least a few months. Shortly after my 25th birthday I had enough and decided to look for a nice place to lay my head and to keep me away from my annoying parents. I found a great place that was even closer to my job than my parents house. I was ecstatic, and I was never more ready to live on my own than that day. I signed all the papers and began moving into my new home.
Shortly after my second successful month of living in my new place my landlord began to get under my skin and supposedly I was getting under his. Every other weekend I would have causal get togethers with some close friends and shared drinks and good times with each other. My landlord told me that if I kept having "loud" parties like I did, I would be kicked out of my place. After this happened on two separate occasions I reached out to my fellow tenants to see if I was causing them any inconveniences. All of my neighbors told me that they never heard any sounds or that I did anything else to be a disturbance in the building. This made me realize that my landlord had it out for me. I know I did come late many nights and had small parties in my place but that is no reason to get me evicted from my place.
The Monday after that I had what would be my last party, my landlord posted an eviction notice on my door. My stomached dropped and I had no idea what I was going to do. I called my father right away and he was furious, he told me to call a landlord tenant attorney immediately because my landlord was probably breaking the law.
My attorney informed me that there are two different types of evictions, hold-over and non-payment evictions. A non-payment eviction is used when a tenant fails to pay his or her's rent. My landlord was going to use a hold-over eviction which is used for other reasons. In my case it was because I was causing a "disturbance".
After meeting with my attorney and discusses the terms of the lease he let me know that I would have to leave my place. It really made me mad but it was in the lease that my landlord could remove me. In all my haste to move into my own place I didn't take the time to properly read through the lease agreement and make sure there wasn't anything ridiculous in it. Had I have done that I would still be in my apartment, not stuck trying to find a new one.
When you finally decide to move into your first apartment take them time to do your homework. Make sure to speak with an experienced landlord tenant lawyer to assist you in your case.
