landlord gave me formal notice

Post date: 2018-01-13 02:31:08

My landlord inspected my apartment yesterday and found it to be in such disarray that I am in voilation of my lease.

I've asked a few questions over the last year of falling behind in cleaning until my apartment looks like shit. I'll recover, and then it will happen again. It's happened again, and now my landlord is angry because I'm in violation of my lease. I pay my rent on time every month so he's not inclined to evict me but he says that my apartment has reduced his property value (he has been trying to sell the building).

I'll be cleaning all day today but I expect even once I get it in pristene shape the landlord won't want me to stay.

Practical questions:
How do I move when this landlord will probably not give me a stellar reference?
I freelance but I also am living off of an inheritance. How do I prove to a new landlord that I am capable of paying on time? I have 1099s, etc, but how do I show the inheritance?

Help. Clearly my mental health is not in good shape at the moment. I'm frightened. I'm freaking out.
