Hi guardian, welcome to the boards here.

Yes, we have a lease. Someone other than my so-called landlord paid the taxes on the house since 2001. We sent in the rent checks which were cashed and I had also sent him a letter.

I don't need to deal with a 5 day notice and the court proceedings right now. I wish I could see my T or talk to someone..............but right now there is no one.

Thanks for your response.
