Landlord insists I pay him last 3-plus rents. I cannot afford to move out right away. Rents are almost twice what I paid for 30 years. I received a text message and a written notice in mail for due rents of $3,170.00. Should I try to pay him what I can afford now? House in flushing, N.Y. has been up-for-sale for approx. 3 months.
Unless you have a lease, you cannot stay. A court order is required, which takes time. This is the time to make a deal with the landlord. He should forgive rent, give you time to move, and you move.
