Landlord threatens return of deposit
We have rented for 13 months.
We were friends with our landlords. Playing pool and games, watching movies and having dinner together.
Things changed because I chose my boyfriend over the friendship with my female landlord. I have her email claiming that things would be different because whe was tired of only being my friend when I was in a fight with my boyfriend.
After that, things changed significantly. We then received a 60 day notice to quit. Which is fine as we are month-to-month.
Now she is stating that furniture she GAVE us in the beginning of our tenancy, is HERS. She states that the return of our deposit of $600 will be based on the condition of said property. After determining the condition of said property she will determine how much of our deposit we get back.
Our lease states nothing of this furniture and it wouldn’t, as it was given to us.
There are other games she’s playing. Constant harassing emails, notices on our door.
It never ends.
My question is simple: Can she deduct from our deposit for furniture she claims came with our apartment even though said furniture is not stated in our lease?
Thank you for your time.

Notice to quit/evict
I am being evicted from my apt without giving any reasons from my landlord. For no reasons at all. My landlord said ”just because”. I have 30 days to vacate the place. I tried to talk to him but he would not get back to me. what are my options…I did not commit anything that provoke the rules and regulations as a tenants. Never had any problem with my landlord. I paid my rent on time and keep myself to my own business. Never broke anything or being loud or obnoxious. Please advise what to do..I have no place to go and I am really stressed over this situation.

Return of Security Deposit
We recently moved out of a house we rented because our landlord wanted to sell it. While we had a lease for another year, he claimed that we were tentants at will because he never signed the lease. I know that to be untrue as he accepted our increase rent check and we have emails from him stating that he agreed to the lease. We moved because we realized he was dishonest and did not want to deal with him anymore. However, he has now decided to not return our security deposit and will not return any calls or emails sent. He never gave us a reason to hold the security deposit besides an email 10 days after our month was up asking us to mow the lawn and that he said we left stuff in the house (which we didn’t). He also did not put the money into an interest bearing account. I believe for these reasons we are entitles to 3 times the deposit plus interest. When we moved out we sent a certified letter stating we were moving and he sent us a certified letter with a ”notice to quit”. Can someone help me with what the next steps are? We would like to file the claim without an attorney but don’t know if that is such a good idea.

Is it legal to lock someone out of a home if they are not a tenant? Can you use a notice to quit to get him out? My uncle moved himself into my aunts home and will not leave. My aunt has passed away and the home was willed to my mom and her sister, the uncle will not leave.
Illegal Eviction?
Illegal Eviction?
As of May 31st we have been evicted from our apartment. We are current on rent and have not violated any of our lease aggreement.The landlord came to our house and gave us a notice to quit. He said that the Dracut police department went to his house and told him they are doing a drug raid of our apartment because they have been watching us for months and they have pictures and surveillance of us drug trafficking. He also told us he doesn’t know when the raid will happen so we should get out as quick as we can because DSS will be here and take the kids away. We went to the Dracut police department and spoke with someone about the allegations and they said they have absolutely no police reports from this address or anything about drug trafficking. Those are really serious allegations. We were also told by the police station he didn’t even serve us a legal eviction notice. What rights do we have? Should we fight this?
