I was the caregiver to my mother on hospice. My mother passed. Can a landlord say I have a week to move out if I was on the lease?

Was your Mom on subsidized housing? Meaning now she is gone, the rent is not being subsidized anymore? Are you able to pay the full amount for now?

The landlord may say anything he wants but he needs to go thru the eviction process I would think. He doesn't want to because it cost him money. You need to call Housing Authority again, like said, and have them put what they say in writing and maybe call the landlord and tell him you r within your rights. I would think to get the police involved, the landlord will need to show them an eviction notice of some kind. There are tenant rights and sometimes they are not in the landlords favor. Even with a 30 day notice, I think, if the tenant does not leave the landlord then has to evict.

Dustin, when is the lease up? I don't think he can kick you out before the lease is up. You do need to pay the rent though. I would go to legal aid to see if they could help you. ASAP. Are you paying the rent? If you are, get a clear answer from the landlord why he is kicking you out. If you can't get anywhere with the landlord please see legal aid and HUD and social services. If you can't pay the rent, then its going to be harder for you to make a case.

When does the lease expire, Dustin?

I don't understand why. If you are ale to pay the rent, why do you have to move? I was on the lease with my father, he needed to go to NH and eventually passed, and I kept the apartment and continued to pay the rent. As long as you pay the rent, why is the landlord forcing you to leave?

I am sorry for your loss. May God bless you with grieving mercies and strength during this difficult time.

It sounds as though you have sorted out the housing situation, is that correct?

Were you on the lease as your Mother's caregiver, or were you on the lease, period? Because I don't see how, if you just cosigned and were a co-leasee, how they would know WHAT you were doing there, other than living there. If there are housing rules as to two people getting a larger unit and you on the waiting list for a smaller, just be certain you STAY ON THAT LIST. And I wouldn't move until forced out. Check in your area what the Covid - 19 rules are. I am very sorry for your loss. And yes, keep saving.

You’re a tenant. You are on the lease and lived there more than long enough to establish tenants rights even if you weren’t on the lease. Indiana’s eviction moratorium ends in one week. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding between you and the landlords? He can begin the eviction process in 1 week but he has to do it legally. If this was a month to month lease than he has to give you a 30 day notice to quit. If it’s a yearly lease than he has to give you 90 days.
you should consider contacting the housing authority to get a new solo lease IF you are eligible to stay there—assuming this wasn’t senior housing that you aren’t eligible to live in by yourself.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, dustin. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
I would talk to Housing Authority again and get the extension in writing. You have a little time until Oct 1, maybe a single bedroom will become vacant. Meanwhile do you have any family or a friend you can stay with? You have enough going on after losing your mother and now you need to deal with all this. Another option would be to rent a motel room for the month. My brother did that when he had to move because of his dog. He rented an efficiency for a few months and it was cheaper by the month and less expensive than renting apartment. I hope everything works out for you and you get a place soon. Sending a special prayer to you.
