Legal advice needed urgently!!?

I signed a contract that stated that i was to pay my rent monthly. I have now failed to do that but it was written in pen in the contract that they had to give me 30 days to move. I just received a letter that the contract is void because i have failed to pay and they are giving me 7 days to move. Can they do that and where do I stand??Legal advice needed urgently!!?
I think 7 days is enough for someone that doesn't pay the rent, however I think that legally you could just change the locks, declare yourself ';homeless with nowere to go'; by sticking a notice outside the door that says just that and then wait it out till they send you a court order. This might even take 6 months or more if in the UK.





However, some landlords have been known NOT to follow the book in similar cases, they might just break the door down at night and beat you to a pulp, although this would be illegal to do.


If in the USA, this place http://locate-lawyer.info/ is helpful but my advice is to just move out.Legal advice needed urgently!!?
Not paying the rent is obviously the wrong way to deal with these issues. You're toast. Move ASAP but hope that you can find someplace else to live. Your nonpayment of rent has probably shown up on your credit report and I doubt anyone will rent to you.
Tell your husband to walk into restaurants and ask them if they need a kitchen porter. When in emergency (and in different nations) it has always worked for me.


Bit strange as a job but better than being homeless.
Talk to a lawyer. Or better yet, pay up your rent.
