Do have any emails or text messages with the agreement? Was it a face to face conversation and you have a witness for that?

It really sounds like he could sell the house very soon for a nice profit or rent it out for much more than what you are paying.

However, that leaves you screwed because rentals in Baton Rouge are dwindling and if available the price may have risen substantially.

A renter is entitled to a reduced rent based upon the condition of the unit. Your lease has continued on a month to month period.

Obviously, I would stop putting money into the unit. If you know an attorney, have them send them a letter asserting your rights. Document all work done and expenses undertaken in good faith.

No way a judge sides with the landlord here, but you need to get an attorney.
