Crap...sorry Pi...the renter's association could help but they are more of an "after the fact" type of help and in some states they really aren't worth a damn...not sure about in Reno...
Do you have anything to fall back on? Friends or relatives in the area?

Sorry to hear that, man. Got any friends or family you can crash with? I know it's taking a hit on the Pride Meter, but sometimes one just has to do what one just has to do. You could go homeless for awhile, that's what I did for a half a year. But then again, I'm a survival enthusiest and wore a cloak. I don't know, I'm not the best at giving advice, but my sympathy and heart go with you, either way.

I am not a lawyer and this does not constitute legal advice: Research says that a formal notice must be filed through the courts which would then be served by a sheriff (this type of eviction takes 5 days from the date of notice). If you go to court to contest it then a hearing date will be set and no eviction can happen until then. if you can do this then you can hold out until your new location is available. Any possessions you have must be stored for 30 days after eviction, so you won't lose your belongings as long as you claim them by then. If your landlord has not yet filed for eviction, then he can not legally evict you as far as I can tell, and if he just comes and tries to kick you out himself without a legal notice (the 'five day pay or quit' as far as i can tell) then the eviction would be illegal and you would have recourse in court.

Your best bet is to wait to be served the eviction, then go to court and ask for a hearing. Once in front of the judge, ask for an extension of time to move yourself out due to your having kids, new home not being available, yet, etc, make the best case you can and hope for the compassion of the court. Even after you move out, your landlord may still file suit in civil court for the rent that was owed, not sure how that works though.

Good luck,

Sigs is dead on with our laws. If you haven't gotten a notice, then none of the landlords threats are valid.

so what do i do if he comes to the house tomorrow morning and tries to lock me out?

[jaded_blue]

He has to bring the police with him to legally lock you out.

i called the court house and they said that they have no record of him ever fileing for a eviction. and if he did that we would have 5 gudishal days. whatever that means lol.

[jaded_blue]

It (judicial) means five days that the court house is open. Like Monday wouldn't have counted.
