Bottomline...you are not on the lease agreement....the tenants can ask you to leave anytime they please, for any reason...you are just giving them a good one for not paying rent.

You have no ground to stick to here. You are not on the lease, the landlord does not know you are there - you are there illegally. The landlord could evict you right now and your bf's cousin too, for having you there.

As far as the unsanitary conditions - call the Health Department.
