Oh Marie, I am so sorry you are dealing with this right now. Not at all what you need.

I am a lawyer and although I don't practice in the area of landlord tenant law, I do have some experience in this area and would be happy to do a little research for you. Landlord tenant law varies by city so just because RI may not have a rent control law, this doesn't mean that your city or other local municipality does not have one.

If you want, you can PM me with the name of your town and I can do a little bit of research to see if I can find anything helpful.

I second the idea of looking to see if there is a legal aid society or other local organization that may be able to assist. Many law schools offer free clinics and free advice to community members.

In general, tenants have way more rights than landlords and it is usually quite difficult and laborious to evict someone. It would take your grandmonster months to actually get you forced out of there. I am just blown away that a family member would do something like this - especially dealing with all that you and Ed are dealing with. Karma karma karma. She'll get hers.
