Check your lease agreement for any potential violations. If there are none, it's advisable to consult a legal professional.
Am on section * we both pay our part but section * still owes but the landlord keeps telling me i have to pay it
Hello Arlesley, in Detroit,
- It's the landlord's responsibility to collect the Section * portion directly from HUD.
- If there's a delay, it's not your duty to cover that.
You may consider seeking legal advice.
What if they say i owe it
Hello Arlesley, if your landlord insists you owe rent, you can:
- Show proof of your regular payments
- Explain that Section * payments are the responsibility of HUD
- Consult a legal professional for advice
- File a complaint with Detroit's Housing Commission if needed.
So can i be put out *
Hello Arlesley, in Detroit:
- Landlords can't evict Section * tenants without a court order.
- Non-payment of the Section * portion by HUD is not a valid reason for eviction.
- If served with an eviction notice, consult a legal professional immediately.
So if i continue to pay my portion i should be ok
Hello Arlesley, if you continue to pay your portion and haven't violated any lease terms, you should be okay. However, if the landlord continues to insist, consult a legal professional. Remember, eviction requires a court order in Detroit.
So just continue living life as normal right
Hello Arlesley, yes, continue paying your portion and living normally. If the landlord continues to insist on eviction without a valid reason, remember to consult a legal professional.
On reason is that section * have not paid all the money yet
Hello Arlesley, even if Section * hasn't paid the full amount, the responsibility of getting that payment is on your landlord, not you. If you're still facing issues, consult a legal professional. Remember, an eviction requires a court order in Detroit.

Hello Arlesley, absolutely, you have rights. As a tenant, you have the right to:
- Live in a habitable rental property.
- Not be discriminated against.
- Have the landlord handle eviction proceedings legally.
- Receive proper notice before the landlord enters your rental unit.
Consult a legal professional if you feel your rights are being violated.
Like today some one came to my home claming there owership
Hello Arlesley, that's quite concerning. In Detroit:
- Only the owner or an authorized representative can claim ownership.
- If someone else does, it might be a scam.
Do you have any information about their identity or their claim?
No they just came to see if i was still in the home how do u know if its a scam
Hello Arlesley, it could potentially be a scam if:
- They didn't show any proper identification
- They weren't able to provide evidence of their claim.
Always ask for identification and proof of ownership. If in doubt, consult a legal professional.
They did not provide nothing
Hello Arlesley, if someone approaches your property without any identification or evidence of ownership, it's crucial to stay cautious. Did you notify the police or your landlord about this incident?
So nobody supposed to do that
Correct, Arlesley. No one should approach your home and claim ownership without showing proper identification or evidence. It's important to inform both the police and your landlord about this incident. Did you do that?
Will the landlord on has email but never answer
Hello Arlesley, if your landlord isn't responding via email, you might try other methods of communication, such as phone or mail. Have you tried reaching out to your landlord through these channels?
No phone
Hello Arlesley, in such a situation, you can send a registered mail to your landlord documenting the incident. It's also advisable to report this to the police. Do you have the mailing address of your landlord?
He knocked on the door i answered he said he was from ownership then just got in the car and left
Hello Arlesley, that's quite concerning. Did this person provide any identification or proof of ownership? If not, it might be a scam. It's crucial to stay cautious and report this to the police.
Nope
Hello Arlesley, without identification or proof of ownership, it's suspicious. It's crucial to report this incident to the police and also inform your local Housing Commission. Stay safe and consult a legal professional when in doubt.
Like i said they tryna evict me
Hello Arlesley, to clarify, did you receive an official eviction notice from the court in Detroit? If yes, consult a legal professional immediately. Remember, in Detroit, landlords cannot evict Section * tenants without a court order.
Not the court there lawyer did
Hello Arlesley, receiving a notice from a lawyer does not constitute an official eviction. In Detroit, an eviction requires a formal court order. Do you have legal representation to help you navigate this situation?
I represent myself i do get legal advice though but this the second time of them trying
Hello Arlesley, facing this situation twice can be stressful. Despite representing yourself, it's beneficial to consult a legal professional especially when receiving legal notices. Are you considering seeking further legal advice for your situation?

That's commendable, Arlesley. Confidence and truth are certainly powerful tools in court. Are you familiar with the court proceedings and the structured way to present your case?
Yup
That's great, Arlesley. Remember, preparation is key. Do you have all necessary documents, like your lease agreement, receipts of rent payments, and any communication with your landlord about this issue, ready for court?
Yup am prepared just mad they should be taking section * to court not me i don't owe anything
I understand your frustration, Arlesley. Your preparation and confidence are commendable. Just to confirm, have you received any official communication from the court regarding a hearing date?
Don't that seem right
Hello Arlesley, it can indeed seem frustrating. Having the right information and being well-prepared can make a significant difference. Have you considered taking your concerns to the Detroit Housing Commission or a local tenants' rights organization? They can provide support and further guidance.
Yea am just saying don't the landlord should take them to court
Hello Arlesley, your feelings are understandable. As a tenant, you're fulfilling your obligations. If the landlord has issues with Section *, it should be addressed with them directly. Remember, you have rights and legal protections. Always consult legal advice when needed.
Yea i been here * a long time never missed a payment
That's very important, Arlesley. Long-term tenants who have consistently paid their rent have strong standing. Have you communicated this to your landlord or their lawyer, perhaps in a letter or email?
What if they say am paying back pay

I can log into my site and show them i been paying
That's excellent, Arlesley. It's good to have a digital record of your payments. Just make sure to keep any email confirmations or other documentation as additional proof. If you face further issues, consider seeking legal advice.
