What is the name of your state? Texas
We were evicted from our mobile home by our landlord and are being sued for one months rent. We moved there in June and the following month noticed that there were problems in the bathroom due to the foul smells emitted whenever the shower was turned on. We told our landlord about it but nothing was done. Eventually, water leaked from the bathroom into the neighboring room and in cleaning and repairing the leak ourselves (because the landlord would not), we noticed mold on the property. We notified the landlord repeatedly for the next two months but he never sent anyone out to look at the damage. We got an estimate ourselves of what it would cost to fix the situation and he refused it saying he would get his own, he never did. We told him that we would not pay anymore rent until he began work on the problem. Then he got mad. He sent his kids over to the house to collect rent and we turned them away. He claims now that we violated our agreement because he saw stray cats on our porch and that they were not listed as animals in the lease. Our realtor after hearing our plight has refused to act in any way, even after at first offering to send a mold mediator out to the property. We got a notice taped to our door on the 30th of October (Tuesday) stating that we are to appear in court on Monday, Nov. 5th for eviction proceedings. What do we do....
