What is the name of your state? Florida

I was given notice by my landlord that I was now a month to month tennant at the property and would be evicted in 15 days. I paid my rent on time and took good care of the property. The reason for the eviction was an unrelated personal dispute I had with my landlord having nothing to do with the property. There was no cause or option to remedy stated. 6 days after the notice and while I was away from the home she took posession, changed the locks and moved my property in to the garage.

I had a home based business which was effectively shut down by her moving my property, she disconnected my business phone and computer which hosted my website.

She is now living in the home. I have been living in hotels and at friends houses for the last month while trying to resolve this. She won't budge or even return my calls or e-mails.

I realize I can and will be suing for damages, but I still have no place to run my business and cannot afford to rent a suitable place at this time.

1) Can I request a remedy in the way of asking a judge to allow me back into the property under our original renters agreement in order to have a place to run my business.

I need a stable place to run my business at least for several months to rebuild and maintain some financial stability and I have no other options. Since I cannot work, the longer this continues the worse my financial situation is, I'm already knee deep in debt and personal loans as a result of this.

Get a cell phone and wireless internet card, then you can run your business from anywhere while this matter is resolved. Include the cost in your damage suit.

Is this "landlord" the fiance you refer to in your other thread? Is the "unrelated personal matter" her ending of your engagement?

Your other thread seems to indicate that you want to force co-ownership of the house upon her even though it was purchased in her name only with your knowledge and consent (yes, I know, you say that was based on an agreement to subsequently put the deed in both of your names).

This thread asks if a Judge would force her to let you live there. I think not, under either scenario.

You would get better advice if you reveal the facts of your circumstances.
