lawsuit? LOC?

[nijusjaanu 0]

when my husband came to the US, he didn't give notie to the landlord in canada that he was leaving (the apartment). so, he has recieved a letter from the lawyer representing his former landlord that they might start a lawsuit against him to recover 2 months of rent in absence of the notice.

will this affect his LOC? specifically on form I-751 part 3 (7)?

is this question (I-751 part 3 (7)) specifically related to the USA, or canada as well?

thanks

nijusjaanu,

Form I-751, Part 3, question 7 asks, "Since becoming a conditional resident, have you ever been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance (excluding traffic regulations), or commited any crime for which you were not arrested?"

"Charged, cited, convicted, fined... pertain to criminal charges, not civil claims. A dispuite with a landlord is a civil action, and does not fall under the penal code.

he didn't give them notice at all? i thought he gave them notice, just not 60days as stated in his lease?

i really would just try and settle the issue with them out of court to reduce extra costs. ask them to set up a reasonable payment plan over the next 2 yrs (something like $50 every 2 weeks).

good luck to you with this

A payment plan? You must be joking. This guy doesn't deserve anything!

The OP's husband was under a Canadian deportation order, if I remember correctly, so the notice wasn't exactly possible.

I would tell them to stick it, they can't do anything now that he is here. I think they are trying to scare you and besides how did they get the address???

If anyone breaks a law, breaches a contract, screws someone over or commits a crime, just do as lissa04 does; tell the victim(s) or law enforcers to stick it, then quickly move to another country.

Great advice lissa04, just great.

I agree, it would be better to get them off your back. And even if you can only pay $10 a month, they have to accept this, as it shows you are making an effort.
