Why not simply mail him your rent checks.
Why not simply mail him your rent checks.
Mr. Knowitall I have tried that he came to the house and ripped it up in front of me and said I don't want this, I want you out. He is making it personal because I took my mothers side in their divorce. I recieved a letter from the city stated the water bill was past due. he is responsible for the water bill and he did not pay it. So i took it upon myself to pay it because I can't allow the water to be shut off.
Well since you never paid the $400 rent and he wants it tomorrow, just give it to him.
I offered him the rent in the beginning and he refused and then he tried to evict me. He then tried to increase the rent and i refused to pay more than what my lease says. he then said forget it I will just foreclose on the home. Now he wants rent?! And you are telling me to just pay him after all that harrasing and refusing...So its okay what he is doing? After i took care of a bill i am not responsible for because he failed to pay it back in january. I think not. His main purpose is to evict me and I have done nothing wrong. I pay him the rent on time all the time and because he just wants to evict us is so his son can have the house with his friends, that its okay to put my family and I through all this. No.
If you choose not to pay the rent you owe, he can justifiably evict you for failing to pay the rent you owe. Please recall also, he's your father, not a stranger to you. You knew what he was like when you rented from him. If you try to pay your rent and it is refused, you can use that as a defense if your father takes you to court. If he's tearing up the rent check in front of you, consider pulling out your cell phone and recording a video.
