Last September, I signed a 1-year lease which is to end on September 30th 2005. Well, it seems my landlord got himself in a financial mess, and either has to file bankruptcy or sell the house. So he told me I need to leave. I am fine with moving out, I am half packed, however he did not pay the gas bill and me and my children have been living without gas for nearly 3 months!!!! Gas is included in my rent and is on my lease, I have continued to pay my full rent up until today, when he came to collect rent 2 days early. I told him, that he broke my lease when the gas got shut off, and when he told me I had to leave 6 weeks before my lease was up. He continued to cuss me out in the middle of the kitchen while my children were eating dinner, telling me I had to be out by this weekend!! screaming at the top of his lungs This was because I told him I was not paying him, and would be out by the time my lease ended. Also, he just walked in the house to do all of this, did not knock did not call, he said its his house and he will come in anytime he wants, and I can do nothing about it!!! He told me that I pretty much have no rights, and I was the one that broke the lease and that he's sueing me, and that I have to be out by this weekend. Is this possible? I read plenty of things that say he cannot legally do this, and he has to evict me through the courts. If so, who will they claim broke the lease? And how long will I have?
