You are not being "kicked out". Only a judge can order an eviction.

You have received a normal notice to end the tenancy. With the normal notice period allowed for a month-to-month tenant. Nothing the least unusual about it.

Now, as to why the landlord does not extend the tenancy from this month...you may be right about the reason. Still, it makes no difference..the landlord does not even have to have a reason to give a tenant notice to move at the end of the term (in one month in the case of month to month)

Find a new place and get moved.

My husband's probation officer already knows the complex we live in and knows that there are other children throughout the complex, he is 100% fine with us living there. There are no parks around and the distance to the school is over 1,000 ft. We feel like something is wrong here.

KatieKate's answer was "spot on." (Just ignore the silly troll below.) The landlord does not have to provide you with a reason to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, and it is their right to do so. You will have to find another apartment in a location that the probation officer approves. Time to start looking.

something IS wrong here ... your husband apparently is a child molester. The probation officer doesn't get to dictate to the landlord who may and may not be on the property. Just a curious question... why are you married to this guy? do you think your child will ever have any friends allowed to come over and play?

Not everyone on the list is a child molestor by Freda DeMarco (GA) on October 2, 2014 @19:41	[ Reply ]

People fail to understand that not every person on the sex offender registry is a child molestor. You can be put on the list for things as stupid as urinating in public (because a man has his penis out even if no one sees it but a minor was present), committing a crime where no sex was involved but an underage person was touched on the arm during a robbery. A 16 y/o who has consenting sex with a 14 y/o can be put on the list, even when the 14 year old admits it was consensual. The man down the road from me was convicted of rape more than 30 years ago in another state he is on the sex offender list in my state, I don't find him to be a danger and he lives within 1000ft of a school. The terms for location of residence and employment are different depending on each case, it is not an automatic thing. I'm not defending true child molestors and sexual predators but the laws mark a person for life when their crime was not a horrid as molesting a child and the only way to get removed from the list is to go blind (at least in my state of GA) or die, there is no other way. The truly horrible predators of children should be the ones punished the harshest but too many people paint them all with the same brush of sex offender. My rental house is without 500 ft of both a church, school, public library and park, so I rarely even have an issue with people on the registry trying to rent my house
