Landlord wants us to leave b/c he dosent want to make repairs
We live in a two family apartment with an illegal basement apartment. We have been here for 2 1/2 years, with the agreement to stay until 2010. We do not have a written lease, just a verbal. In July we had an oil delivery and the oil tank leaked all over the place. we called the land lord, and he didnt respond, so we had to call the fire dept. They came with the building inspector, took notice of the illegal apartment, and the commercial business that the landlord runs from our back yard. There is all sorts of dangerous tools and chemicals in the area where we throw out the trash. We got a 30 day notice to quit, and after asking why, we were told, it would be easier to throw us out, than to make all the needed changes to the building. We have had problems in the past, at one point his neglect caused me to fall in the bath tub while 7 months pregnant. We were current in rent, we have july and august in the bank, at the suggestion of the Fire Marshall, after seeing the mess with our oil tank and the 100 other violations. We do not want to move twice, we want to stay here until 2010 as planned. Has he technicaly evicted us since he only gave us a 30 day notice? I don’t think we should have to move b/c he doesnt want to make repairs.

tenant destructive behavior
A tenant moved into one of our units on a 1 year lease 2 months ago. Since, we have learned that she and her boyfriend (also on lease) are methamphetamine users, fight each other periodically while disturbing the neighboring tenants, and have brought destruction to the walls in the unit, cut the window blinds, damaged the front door, changed the lock without permission (but then gave us keys when we insisted even though the lease forbids any lock changes), and cut wires to a light and installed a different one (without permission). They also continue to imply they’ll sue because they got hurt from the shower door etc. (brand-new contractor installed). We want to evict obviously, as everyday more damage or alteration of the unit occurs. Should we give a 30 day notice to move and state the various violations of the lease or a 3 day notice to quit considering that the longer they are their the more damage, disturbance etc.? Thank you.

Tenant given 3 day notice (nuisance) then paid rent
I recently served a 3 day notice to quit for nuisance due to tenant selling drugs, physical fighting with his significant other, disruptive visitors, etc. I am seeing my attorney in the next few days for an unlawful detainer complaint. When I returned home yesterday, the tenant had put a money order for the rent in an envelope on my door. I read somewhere that you could accept the rent if you advised the tenant that this payment will not preclude you, as the landlord from seeking a legal eviction process.

Notice To Quit
Two notices to quit have been sent to the same tenant. Before the end of the second 30 day quit notice, the landlord filed within the court system. Will the second 30 day quit notice be taken into consideration?
