What are my rights as an occupant?
I moved into a house with a girl I knew for a couple months who was a friend of the family. Before that I was living with my four year old daughter in a duplex that I rented by myself. Times got a little tough and I decided that the best idea for me and my family would be to move in with my Amy (my current roommate). Well we looked around for houses and finally found one affordable for the both of us, only problem was I was collecting unemployment and she goes to college so we really couldn't prove income so our application was denied. Amy has a trust fund set up through her uncle with so many thousands of dollars in it and she ened up taking $ out of it and paying 8,000 for the whole year so that we could move in. Well I was very appreciative and told her I would pay her 320.00 a month ( that included rent, garage, and pet deposit ). Now we are both the same about the same age the only difference is I have a four year old and that has made me grow up very quickley, long story short this move was the worst thing I have ever done, she holds it over my head that this is her house and has already called the police and tried to kick me out over stupid things. Well I am not an idiot and I studied law all through high school and I know that she can not just kick me out and that I have some rights as an occupant, but she thinks she is the lanlord and not the leasee. I just want to know exactly what my rights are so that me and my daughter are protected. :)
