My son-in-law is an attorney and though he is unclear regarding RI legal issues involving tenant-landlord disputes, he has suggested that you contact a tenant rights group in your area. You can google Tenants rights in RI.
He says that most states require a 30 day written notice before they can increase your rent and also states that when a disability is involved you may have even more rights. IF you were forced to file a bankruptcy, you could stay in the home for up to a year until it was resolved by a bankruptcy court. There would be no rent paid during that time.
He also said that he thinks RI doesn't have rent control, but to check that out.
I am praying this is resolved for you, Marie, soon. The stress of dealing with this is too much for you and Ed to be involved with right now.
I think Flori's suggestions were good if that will do the trick.
Please let us know if we can help you in any way.
Much Love and Hugs to you,
Vickie
