Please help!! I got the following email from her this morning:

• Hey [earthmark]

This is [landlord’s wife]. Things are not good between [landlord] and I. The kids and I had to leave our house last night. We are staying at my In-laws house right now. I’m thinking the kids and I might need our house in [your town] to live in. I think you need at least a 30 day notice? I’ll check the law. I’m so very sorry but the kids and I don’t have any place to live. The house in [their town] is too expensive for me, we probably will need to sell it. I tried both phone numbers for y’all.

Please text me at [her number]. Thank you very much, [landlord’s wife]

Please do not contact [landlord]*

She and her husband both own this house, but her name is not listed as the landlord on our lease, just her husband. She was not present when lease was signed. We moved into this house on a 12-month lease in 2019, and have been on a month-to-month basis since then. We are good tenants who don’t make a commotion, pay our rent on time (the couple times we haven’t we have given notice and paid it before the late fee date). Can she legally give us a notice to vacate? I of course have not contacted her at all yet, and depending on answers here, may go ahead and go against her wishes and call her husband (my landlord). We also have a child here, who if she is successful in getting us to leave, will not have anywhere to live.

Do we need to lawyer up? Start figuring out where we are going to live? Help please!!!!

ETA: We are in Louisiana.

Hi, I was married in 2014 and bought a home with my soon to be ex husband in 2021. The court recognizes the home as community property. We were to divide the proceeds of the home sale 50/50. I got notice from my attorney that my ex is now stating he should be given all house sale proceeds back as personal property. He states that this is because of money he put down on our previous first home together before we were married, and that he used some of this property to buy the new house (that we just sold). This doesn’t make much sense to me and sounds crazy but I want to know what others think as well. Thanks in advance.

I bought a new truck at the end of April. Over 2 weeks later the dealer calls me back saying "the promotional loan rate we offered you was never actually offered by ford credit. We need you to come back in and sign new papers but it will 'work out' better for you."

I have already applied for title on the truck and have insurance listing the loan on the contract.

What are my options here? I don't really want to interact with this dealer more than I have to. I went as far as calling the consumer protection bureau and the person on the phone said they had never heard of this happening before.

EDIT: talked to the dealer today. Sounds like they're buying down the rate with their own money to make the payments and term the same as I agreed to originally. I was pretty fired up when I talked to them. I have a history with the dealer and they've usually made things work out. But this is the most recent in several mistakes in the past month so I'm still on the fence about keeping the truck and having to deal with them more. I plan to call Ford corporate later today. Thanks for all the responses!
