Is it legal for a landlord to threaten a tenant with eviction
Is it legal for a landlord to force a tenant to sign their rights away? Is it legal for a landlord to threaten a tenant with eviction? Does Alabama law require the management of a HUD housing with a tenant rights handbook?

A tenant can only be evicted for certain breaches. What is his claim againist you, did you not pay rent or have a loud party? If you are doing anything not allowed by your lease the threat of eviction is fine and may be warranted. Tell us more about the situation. |

What rights have allegedly been signed away? A landlord can certainly threaten eviction of the tenant has breached the lease. Unless this is government subsidized housing there is no requirement for a tenant's rights handbook. There may not even be such a requirement for subsidized housing. Very often a person asks questions here that they think are pertinent but really aren't. Better to tell us the full story then ask such questions. |

This situation came about because there was another tenant that fell on exposed ice on the side walk of the property. I helped the tenant to the office, the manager on duty in a loud harsh voice asked me what I was doing, I explained that I was helping a tenant that had taken a fall on the ice. I then asked the manager if she would do an accident report on the fall as the person who fell was in distress. The Manager after a few words told me that if I didn't get out of the day room she was going to evict me. She also called the local police and filed a false police report on the incident.

First, if someone falls, they should not be moved. You may have exacerbated the problem by moving them. But the mgr was way out of bounds. The next question is how do you know the report was false? And finally, you wait until some action is taken against you. Or you report the manager's behavior to her supervisor. |
