Not sure how serious he is but my dad wants to sell the house again and kick me out. I would be homeless as I have no friends or family to stay with. Generally speaking do I have any options? (hexbear.net)

If you need to know my state to check the laws DM me and I will tell you where I am, otherwise I'll keep that blank since I don't want it to be public. Is there anything I can do having lived here all my life? I'm not a tenet so I don't pay rent but idk if there's any protections for people like me at all, if any. Gah I'm fucking scared, it seems like this time he's got something cooking when in the past it was just all empty threats.

Please have some good news for me.

okay i searched in firefox for 'list of state laws by state' and the first non ai result looked promising but it was not helpful. i skipped the similar looking sites in the results and found a very promising texas government page:

https://www.sll.texas.gov/law-legislation/laws-of-other-states/

i'll figure out my own rights and then give a step by step and if it differs for you we can suss it out

i searched for 'tenants rights' at the legislative .gov site holding my states code and couldn't find anything useful.

I grabbed the name of my states laws from the site and then searched in firefox for 'what part of [my states code] covers tenants rights'

This got a nice result summary from [mystatete]tenants.com that gave me the chapter of my states laws that covered this subject. (looks like a number like 100)

I searched for the chapter from the search box on the main page of my .gov site but that didn't return anything useful. the site did have navigation that took me directly to my states code though.

The search engine on the home page for my states code did return the chapter referenced on that other site and now i'm going to read it and see if it's decipherable.

if anyone else tries this and wants any help lmk
