I am really stressed out because I am in an renter hell of my own making.
Here we are: last spring I signed a lease and then lost it. Been going month to month but got into a terrible financial situation last Spring/early Summer that put me way behind. Thought I got caught up in the fall but was wrong. I've been given notice that they will not allow me to stay and I have until Feb 28th to get out.
I am very stressed and don't know what I'm going to do.
Exactly, Vortex.
I'm sorry about the unpleasant moods, askye. Good to hear you were able to spend time with Will today.
February 28!!! Yikes sumi.
Sumi!!!
Can you ask them for an additional 30 days?
sumi, I would think that legally they have to give you 30 days. When did they tell you that you couldn't stay?
They told me - via a sign on my door at the beginning of the month that I had until the 28th.
Then they mailed me the same thing.
They have not responded to phone calls or emails.
How stressful, Sumi!
sumi, oh no!
Okay, a cursory google says that on a month-to-month lease in Illinois, they have to give you 30 days, which starts from the first business day AFTER they give you the notice (meaning, if they gave it to you on a Saturday or Sunday, the 30 days wouldn't start until that following Monday).
Unless they gave notice at the end of January, they can't tell you now that you have to be out by February 28.
t edit I posted that before you posted about when they gave notice. They're still shafting you on the 30 days, if they gave it to you at the beginning of February, since it's a short month.
Illinois is one of the better states with regard to tenant rights and responsibilities. You might need to check out the docs in your county, but there are fixed dates to which Tep alluded.
