Is there anything rights or anythingI can do for being evicted after living there for 22 years and being manager for 16 years?
I’ve been living in the same apartment building for 22 years and, until a month ago, I was the apartment manager for 16 years. The management called me and my husband to tell us that we were removed from our positions due to their hiring a replacement. But just yesterday we received a letter notifying us that we’re being evicted and that we have 60 days to move out with no explanations as to why. Is there anything we can do? We’ve always paid our rent on time and have never had any issues with any of the other tenants.

From what you have written, unfortunately I do not see what you and your husband can do legally to not be evicted by your former employer from the rental that you are occupying where you were the property managers for an apartment complex.
You were served a 60 day notice of termination of your lease and I presume the employer also advised you that your services as employees are no longer desired.
Unless you had a written lease with the landlord/employer with a term of months left on it, it sounds that the landlord can legally terminate the lease that you have with him or her.
I do recommend that you speak with the landlord/employer as to the reasons why he or she no longer wants you to be the property manager of the complex given the 16 years of service as employees.
