Illegal apartment
I received a notice to quit because my landlady rented to me illegally. I will not be moving within the time she gave me. I am sure her lawyer will go to court to have the judge order me out. Am I by law able to be compensated for her wrong doing?
(renting out illegally) not compensation as far as greed, but compensation as far as moving expenses, help with first, last or security deposit for the next apartment, especially where I am a single mother of 2 young girls and am having a hard time as is financially.
Re: Illegal apartment
You have asked a number of good questions. As I’m sure you know, the answers to your specific questions really do depend on the facts of your specific situation.
You may have a number of options, and I urge you to contact an attorney in your area or the Greater Boston Legal Services to make sure your rights are protected.
