What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I signed 1 year lease to rent a house. After 1 month, the home owner/landlord said she was not happy in her decision to move away and wants to move back in to her house. She offered money for my departure, but there are endless factors as to why I do not wish to move - I am not at all interested in terminating our agreement early.
Now, 2 months in to my lease, the landlord has written a formal letter claiming she has a lawyer. She is giving me a date (1 month from now), insisting that I vacate the property. She also now says she is in some sort of "credit" program that helped her avoid foreclosure, but one of the stipulations of this programs is that the house must be her "primary residence" and she cannot "rent or transfer" her house. Otherwise, she could be accused of fraud through this program.
Her story may or may not be true, but I don't believe that it should affect me whatsoever. I feel that I have the legal right to refuse to leave until the end of our original agreed lease (next year). Is this an accurate assumption? Thanks
