Well you landlord better find a better reason to terminate the tenancy (which he can do with a month to month) because if it comes out it court that he is booting you for having your husband move back in he will be found in violation of federal law. Has the landlord written to you regarding you husband? left you any messages? then you can fight the eviction claiming violation equal housing laws by entering these letters and messages as evidence no matter what the landlord claims...

Take the time you buy to find another affordable apartment....because living with a landlord who hates your guts is not good.

: My husband signed a 6 month lease in October 1997. He moved out and left the status

: apartment on a month to month lease. Stipulating that if I reunited with my husband
: I would have to leave. This was an oral agreement. Well as of July 1999 I reunited
: with my husband and the landlord found out and now has served me notice of terminating
: my tenancy. Here's the catch - my husband feels that since it was not in writing we
: should go by the original lease(which by the way that expired April 1998). The
: landlord gave us a 30 day notice and wants us to leave by August 31st. We are happy
: here and are not prepared to leave. My husband told the landlord that we are not leaving
: and he cannot let anyone see the apartment. He warned him that we would call the
: police. We've been good tenants - paid rent on time and everything. Please I need
: advice. Will he be able to evict us and how long will we have. I'm prepared to
: go to housing court.
: P.S. Should I pay the rent for September
