SARALAND, Ala. (BP)--A ministry wife exists in a rare environment. To live and work alongside one's husband in Kingdom work is a precious, unique calling. Yet few career tracks in the marketplace have a dynamic quite like that of being a minister's wife.
If a landlord fails to provide possession of the premises, tenant may find other lodgings and sue the landlord for the difference in monthly cost, providing tenant mitigates damages. If a landlord wrongfully evicts tenant, the tenantâs option is normally to fight the eviction in court and sue landlord for damages.
Some states have statutes that prevent a landlord from holding a tenant to a full lease term. In these states, a landlord who does not seek eviction of a hold-over tenant and continues to accept monthly rent checks is, in effect, agreeing to an extension of the lease on a month-to-month basis.
