Today, my roommate found an eviction notice on our door for unpaid rent. Our apartment building caught fire and we haven't been living there for well over a month because it was legally unlivable. Today was our first day back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML
Today, it's been months since I inherited a nice house, only to discover it overrun with squatters. I had to legally evict them, costing thousands. When they were ordered to vacate, they set the house on fire. Now I have a blackened ruin and depleted savings. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML
Today, my apartment burned to the ground. I was packed and ready to move out tomorrow. FML
Today, my roommate is being evicted. Since we had some very good memories together, I was sad to come home and see all of her stuff gone...and half of my stuff, too. FML
Today, after pointing out to my landlord that they have taken nearly $6k from me through illegal rent increases, I was evicted for the first time in my life. FML
Today, our landlord showed up with police and legal paperwork that let him throw us out immediately. Apparently my husband has been ignoring eviction notices for months and having vicious arguments with the landlord. Now we’re homeless and everything we own is in storage. FML
Today, I got home from work to find an eviction notice taped to my door, stating that I was a nuisance and had 30 days to vacate the property. I live at home with my parents. FML
Today, after I told my roommate last week she needed to find a new place to live because I thought she was psychotic, she set my house on fire. FML

Pretty sure that's not going to hold up in any court in the universe.

That burns. Things could get pretty heated when you try and fight it, but maybe they'll fire the apartment manager and you can have your home back!

Actually, you need to first look at your lease to see if it contains a provision for s situation such as this. If you're dealing with a larger leasing company it should. If it doesn't get an attorney to respond.

Fight this! You can't pay rent on an apt. that you can't use.

Act quickly and properly, OP. These notices have short reponse times, and you don't want to lose your rights by being late or responding incorrectly. Some good tips above. Best of luck.

A far as I know, you still have to pay rent if your belongings are there. Check with a lawyer! You can fight it but you'll have to pay the back rent. Sucks, I know!

BTW, you don't usually get an eviction for one or two missed rents! It's 90 days most of the time! Something's funny about this story!

Your insurance company should have paid the rent. Also, the lease agreement and then your Renters Bylaws in your district. Hopefully, you're not liable to pay but my guess is that you actually are.

I'm fairly certain that they can't evict you for not paying rent on a place you are legally not allowed to live in. Especially seeing as how it was due to fire. If they are I distant I'd say get a lawyer to get you what you need.
