So, my g/f and I are currently renting a house from a sort of slumlord type landlord which wasn't too bad, but it got worse a week ago. What happened is, the new landlord acquired/bought this rented house I'm staying in on/at a Tax Sale (which basically means the old landlord didn't pay his property taxes on this place so it went on the market). Now they both expect me to pay them rent this month and they both have threatened me with eviction.
On top of that, the Realtor who sold this house said the old and new landlords have to work out who I pay rent to and when I asked them to talk to each other they both claim the other one is avoiding the other one's calls. I want to know who has legal right to ask for rent? and do they both have the power to evict me? or should I be getting a lawyer? can't afford that, small claims court? should I just give them both the 1 month notice to avoid this? etc. this is all very overwhelming, I haven't been sleeping well lately. EDIT: I should have mentioned where I was from since the laws are different state to state. Minnesota.

If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
