Retaliatory Notice to Quit
I have been given a 30-day notice to
quit my month-to-month tenancy after
complaining to my landlord about:
1). decrease in services without
compensation
2). late payment penalty (I’ve never been
late but he instituted a $65 penalty
effective immediately if rent is not paid
on the first day of the month)
3). repeated violation of my quiet
enjoyment, as defined in my rental
agreement.
Further, I’ve been given a 30-day
notice, dated 2 November, delivered on
3 November, requiring my vacating the
premises by 1 december. Can I move
this matter to court without having to
wait for a notice to evict?

Yes, if your landlord is liable in tort, you would have standing for remedies in civil court. For further affordable assistance, contact us directly for a free phone consultation.
