Live in my in laws rental with my wife and * children. They have filed to just have me evicted. We are in WV and my marriage is good. Tough in laws. What ti do?
What is the reason given for your eviction? In WV, landlords must provide a valid reason for eviction, such as non-payment of rent or violation of lease terms.
Back rent. Problem is its family with no lease and i am the only one thats going to be told to go. Wife and children can stay for free??? Makes no sense to me?
Have you received a formal eviction notice? In WV, landlords must provide a written notice before eviction.
No.
In WV, without a formal eviction notice, the eviction process cannot begin. It's important to communicate with your in-laws about the back rent issue.
Can only me be asked to leave?
In WV, all tenants on the lease are typically held responsible. However, as there's no lease in your case, it's a complex situation. Have you discussed this with your in-laws?
