Can we sue a owner if he wasn't licensed to rent and the Judge made us move?
We moved into a house. Which for the 1st onths rent we agreed upon us cleaning & painting the house. After we were there a few weeks we found out the owner wasn't licensed to be renting the house. He tried evicting us however we wanted it to go to court. After we explained to the Judge that the owner wasn't licensed he gave us 5 days to move only because it wasn't licensed to be living there.
Can we sue the owner for expenses to move in & out? And the money we paid for paint and cleaning and the landscape that we started to do?
