Lease Or Month-To-Month Agreement To Rent: Fill & Download for Free

Can I be kicked out my house without an eviction notice? I've lived here over 6 months for free and no lease agreement. I was never asked to pay rent. Now they are telling me to vacate the premises.Depending on where you live, you are considered an “At-Will” or “month-to-month” tenant because you don’t have a written lease.As such, the landlord needs only give whatever notice is required by law (usually 30 or 60 days) that your tenancy is being terminated. You must move out at the end of that period or be evicted.If the landlord must evict you, future landlords are unlikely to rent to you. So do yourself a favor and leave without any hassle.

Step one would be to politely talk to your neighbors and explain you just purchased the lot and would like them to remove the vehicles from it, you start out being open to some negotiation but normal people would likely agree to remove them within a reasonable time frame.If they push back / refuse to move the vehicles then you need to send them a formal notice to remove them from your property. You may want to consult a lawyer and perhaps even have the lawyer send them the notification. The lawyer can also let you know the local laws on the matter and when it would be appropriate for you to have a tow company come in and remove them.In the end it is your property and those vehicles are not supposed to be there, you can eventually have them removed as abandoned vehicles it is simply a matter of going through the proper steps to do so. You also don’t want to go crazy out of the gate and get all the neighbors pissed at you, so sending in tow trucks on day one is likely not a great idea. Perhaps the previous owner did not care and was letting them store those vehicles there. That is all well and good but it is no longer the previous owners property and you have control over the property.The only big snag you can have is if they had a contract with the previous owner to store the cars there (similar to a lease). If this is there however you could actually go after the previous owner for failing to disclose they had leased the property. If there was some other agreement to let them leave it there it would fall under rules similar to renting month-to-month and you would just have to provide notice that they no longer are permitted to store the vehicles there and likely give them 30 days or so to clear out.

You are in absolute control here. The landlord has made a critical mistake. Allow me to explain.The first thing to do is to pull out your lease or rental agreement and see what it says about notices to vacate. If you don't have a written, signed contract with your landlord, don't worry, you still have rights.If you are current with your rent and are not in violation of any lease terms and/or clauses, then short notices (3-29 days) to vacate are not applicable in your case.Depending upon which state you live in and the length of your tenancy, you are due either a 30 day or a 60 day notice to vacate. If you have a month to month rental agreement, the landlord can issue that at any time. However, if you have a long term lease, day #30 or day #60, whichever is applicable to your tenancy, cannot be sooner than the last day of your lease.Your landlord has made a critical mistake. By turning your electricity off, he has performed a self help eviction, which is illegal AF. A landlord cannot turn off electricity, gas, and/or water, and cannot interupt services guaranteed in the lease: trash, garbage, recycling, and compost pick up, and cable TV and internet services.To recap - you are entitled to at least a 30 day notice to vacate absent any lease violations or late rent payments. The landlord has performed illegal actions against you - short notice and self help eviction.Your next step should be to find your nearest tenant advocacy agency and make an appointment ASAP. They will be able to get you headed in the right direction to take your next step.I am not a lawyer or a RE professional and this answer is not professional advice.
