My rights living with alcoholic relative

[Ilsucks]

What is the name of your state?
Relative is bad alcoholic. Wants me to pay more rent. He makes good money. I don't have a job. The dude is stressful. Been paying him for 4 years and only complains like one or twice a month. Tell him to get therapy, he shuts up awhile. Waiting to move. Try to keep away from him. A real prick.

What does your lease say about rent?

I would suggest you focus on your own employability issues.

I would also suggest that you are living in a codependent pattern and should get help via Al-Anon or other people with coping with alcoholic loved ones.

Wants me to pay more rent.

I'm guessing that you have no written lease and are paying month to month. If he's smart enough to give you a month's written notice of a rent increase, you either pay it or get evicted.

Waiting to move.

So, what are you waiting for?

My guess: No money for a deposit and first month's rent.

Fixed that for ya.

That is likely the case, that there is no written lease.

If iL had a lease, then iL would have legal recourse.

But if, as we suspect, iL has no lease, then iL is effectively a month to month tenant, and has to "like it or lump it".

I'm not sure why we waste so much time on people like this who don't ask questions!

Because we have available time to waste?

Fair enough - and I guess the answer is: The question is far too vague.

Well, I suppose that one of us could have mentioned at some point that the "rights living with alcoholic relative" = "rights living with a relative"...

OP has the right to pay more rent or move out to find a landlord more to his liking.....
