MY RIGHTS
Posted by RHODA on November 13, 1998 at 00:19:01:
IN THE SPRING OUR LANDLORDS BECAME MORE HARASSING. THEY WANTED US TO MOVE, BUT I PUSHED TO FINISH THE LEASE. RIGHT FROM THE START OF THE 7 YRS OF LIVING THERE I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THEY DIDNT LIKE ME HAVING FLOWERS ON THE PATIO OR LITES. THEY WOULDNT REPAIR THINGS, AND WE WLD B FROCED TO FIX THINGS, OR WHEN THE ICE BOX WENT OUT I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. I WENT WITHOUT A SCREEN DOOR ON THE PATIO FOR TWO SUMMERS. THEY WLD WANT UNSCHULED INSPECTIONS AND WLD LET THEMSELVES IN, EVEN IF I WAS INSIDE. ONE TIME I WAS SICK, LAYING DOWN, HEARING AID OFF, I DIDNOT HEAR THE DOOR, BUT WOKE UP TO THEM IN MY BDRM, NOW TELL ME IS THIS RIGHT. THERE WAS THREE OF US LIVING IN FOUR ROOMS. MY HUSBNAND IS TOTALLY BLIND, I HAVE ARTHRITUS AND AM HEARING IMPAIRED, AND OUR ADULT SON IS LEARNING DISABLED WITH I.Q. OF 77. OUR LEASE WAS UP AUG. 31, WHEN OUR PLANS TO BUY A HOUSE DIDNT WORK OUT FAST ENOUGH, I ASKED FOR A ONE MONTH EXTENDTION, HE GAVE US FIVE DAYS, TIL SEPT. 5TH. ON AUG. 27TH WE RECIEVED A FIVE DAY NOTICE. WE WERE NOT BEHIND IN RENT HE JUST WANTED US OUT. WE WERE WALL TO WALL FURINTURE, IT WAS OKAY WITH US, BUT HE WLD TELL ME TO THROW OUT THINGS HE DIDNT WANT ME TO HAVE. I CONTACTED MY SENATOR IN THE SPRING AND HE SAID AT THAT TIME IT SEEMED THAT WE HAD A CIVIL CASE, BUT NOW I AM WONDERING IF WE HAVE MORE. ON SEPT. 5TH, WE WERE CONTINUELLY HARASSED, MY HUSBAND DECIDED IT WAS BETTER TO VACATE THHEN WAIT FOR A COURT EVICTION NOTICE. SO WE RENTED A TRUCK AND MOVED EVERYTHING INTO STORAGE AND BECAME HOMELESS, FOR SEVEN WEEKS WE MOVED FROM MOTELS/HOTELS, SEVEN IN ALL. WWE LOST BETWEEN 7 AN D 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS DURING THIS TIME THAT I CANT USE ON THE HOUSE WE R IN NOW. THIS DISABLED FAMILY HAD NO PLACE TO GO, WE WERE HOMELESS. I HAD MEDICAL NOTES AND THAT DIDNT MATTER TO MY DOCTOR LANDLORD. JUST GET OUT HE SAID. THEN TWO WEEKS AGO HE WENT TO MY HUSBANDS CHURCH LOOKING FOR ME. THEY SAID TO MY HUSBAND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE US TO COURT FOR EXTREME DAMAGES.(MIND U WE LIVED THERE SEVEN YEARS AND THEY DID NOTHING DURING THAT TIME. THE KITCHEN TILES CAME UP ON UR FEET. THE CARPET HAD A LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR ON IT, AND NO PAINTING IN SEVEN YEARS) MY HUSBAND BEING BLIND DOES SPELL THINGS, THEY KNEW HE WAS BLIND WHEN WE MOVED IN. MY HUSBAND TOLD THEM THIS THE CHURCH WAS NOT THE PLACE, AND THAT THEIR BEHAVIOR WAS INEXCLUSABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE. NOW THE POST OFFICE HAS A CERTIFIED LETTER FROM THEM TO US THAT I AM AFRAID TO GO GETAND SIGN MY NAME TO. IF THEY TAKE US TO COURT, CAN I COUNTER SUE FOR REPAIRS I DID WHEN LIVING THREE, FOR MENTAL DISTRESS,AND LOSS OF MONEY BECOMING HOMELESS? PLS EMAIL ME UR ANSWERS AS I WILL READ THAT FASTER THEN COMING BACK HERE TO THE BOARD. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS: RHODAJCOX@WEBTV.NET
