Living Situation Question

[erincarls]

So, about a year and a half ago, my boyfriend and I bought a condo. The mortgage and title are his name, though I purchased all of the furniture/decorating things and make monthly payments towards the mortgage each month. I also have 2 of the utilities bills in my name. I didn't want my name on the mortgage because we were not married. Well, last month we broke up...his choice. And now, on Nov. 5th, he told me he wants me out of HIS place by Dec. 1st...that's not even 30 days! On top of all of this, there are other factors involved too... such as, I found out I have a serious health problem, and I might not have a job come Dec. 1st since I am a contract employee. I really wasn't expecting him to do this to me, and I thought he would give me more time. We have no cohabitation agreement, but I'm wondering if there's something else I can do or if there's some law about this. It just doesn't seem fair to me, since we always considered this OUR place not just his. One other thing is that he is willing to pay me back the money I put into in the mortgage.

You can file a partition lawsuit to have the court sell the property and split the profits (if any) between y'all.

You have no rights to this property since your name is not on it. Also, he actually does not owe you any money towards the mortage because you lived there and are expected tp pay rent or help with bills. So since you said you did not want to put your nameon it since you werent married, why do you think you have any rights to the money you paid towards the mortgage? You would have had to pay rent somewhere. Yes he can evict you, so now that you know the relationship is over you probably should start looking for another place. You might be able to prolong this by forcing him to get a court order evicting you, but you eventuslly are going to have to move. You have no legal rights to the property.
