This is your "legal advice"??? Do you or have you ever practiced law??? Is THIS what you would tell someone coming to you as a defendant requesting your services???

It has been a week since her daughter and I broke up. We have been civil. We agreed on Oct 17th. I have lived here for almost six months now, and with only a moderate income, I am supposed to just up and leave?

I certainly don't see a judge under the circumstances immediately issuing a writ of possession. I was never even given a request from her mother to leave. In fact, I haven't talked to her mother since March, as she lives out of state (she is here now visiting, which makes this all the more uncomfortable).

I'm not harming anyone, and there are no issues between me and anyone else in this house. Her mom is acting out of paranoia that I won't leave of my own volition, with no basis of reasoning.

Most the information I'm seeing online gives you at least 30 days. I saw a reply below yours that indicates a minimum of 15 days notice after written notice, which I STILL have not received.

I have children, one of which I am working with the mother of to get more time with. It will SEVERELY hurt my negotiations with her if I end up homeless. So, it's not just me not wanting to be homeless, but me wanting to get more time with my daughter, and family means EVERYTHING to me. Not to mention my daughter is VERY sensitive, and I don't want to have to tell her she can't come to my home because I no longer have a home. It would break her heart, and I would sooner fight her mother to the bitter end than hurt my daughter.

I thought the 17th was reasonable. About 30 days. Her mom is expecting it to be a week and I'm out. I am trying my hardest to find a new place, but there are TONS of people looking for homes right now. For example, I reached out to someone who posted an efficiency for rent on FB Marketplace. I contacted them about 2hrs after it was posted. They told me they already had over 80 applicants and they are evaluating them in order, so most likely it's taken already. That is what I run into time and time again. The only other options are ones that are way out of my price range. Yes, I am seeking more work, and after finding a new place, it would give me more time to look for jobs. But, I don't want to risk an eviction because I end up somewhere that I can't afford.

I'm not trying to milk this place, just trying to get a reasonable amount of time to find a new place so I don't end up homeless.
