Am being evicted due to sale of house. I am inquiring about cash for keys. Landlord wants us out * Nov. My finances are being depleted trying to get stuff out of the basement which was flooded in July. Tried to be compliant with insurance company requests but am unable to do that due to landlord's decision to sell a month later.
Hello Brianna, it sounds like a difficult situation. Could you please tell me which state you're located in? Laws regarding eviction and "cash for keys" can vary widely from state to state.
