What can I do if my landlord is evicting me in retalliation of filing a complaint against him?
Full Question:
My landlord is trying to evict me from my apartment because I requested that she remove the snow from the last time it snowed in March of this year (2007). When she did nothing about removing the snow and ice from the common walk area, I called Bayonne Quality of Life to file a complaint with the city of Bayonne. About a week after my complaint to the City of Bayonne, I recieved an eviction notice from my landlord in writting. In the notice that she sent to me she did not state the reason for the eviction and has given me 90 days to move out. This is the frist and only letter or summons from her that I have received. My landlord has not started the court process as of yet. I do not want to move at this time. I can not afford it. It would be a hardship for me and my family to move at this time. I do not have a lease, I have been living there for almost 4 years, I pay my rent on time every month, and I do not owe any back rent. I have recently started a new job in the medical field, I have a 9 year old son, who has Asthma. I would like to know what my rights are and how I go about responding to my landlords eviction letter.
