"Eviction" sorry for my misspellings in advance, I was typing in a hurry.
Sacramento, California.
My mother left the lease as soon as I turned 18 and I was evicted?
As soon as I turned eighteen, my mother put me on the lease, it was still agreed by management that she would pay the full rent. I lived with my younger sisters (13, 10, 16) and mother at the time. It was a section 8 apartment. I was newly eighteen (my birthday was a day before) with zero income to make rental payments. I was told an 18 year old should list themselves on the least. So I obliged. I went away to stay in the dorms at my college (for the summer) but returned to an empty apartment. I was homeless and my younger sisters were living in a park for a full week. She broke the lease and never mentioned it to me while I was away during that time an eviction happened. I discovered she had all the eviction notices in her car. The letters were in my name she never passed them on. She purchased a new apartment to live with her boyfriend and left my sisters (two out of three are autistic) in the apartment for weeks alone while hiding the letters. I am now twenty years old, on my own with an okay job and it is finally dawning on me at the devastation she has done to my credit.
Is there anything I can do? I feel so lost , it is hard to rent an apartment. I finally confronted her and she said it was it wasn't a big deal and "she tried to help her daughter".
I am having trouble renting.
