What should you do if your landlord is harassing you?

Many landlords have a federally backed loan and some restrictions come with those loans, especially regarding eviction.
Landlords don't like that, and they will shut off their tenants' utilities or call DHR on them saying they suspect child abuse. Anything to get their tenants out of their property.
However, if there's a proper lease agreement the landlord has to follow the rules.
If a landlord decides to change the locks and throw all of your stuff out because you're a couple months behind on rent, you need to serve that landlord with a huge lawsuit.
Too often we see landlords shut off their tenants utilities, and then come after the tenant with a debt collector for money damages.
They will sue tenants and try to get more money from them.
If your landlord is violating the law by harassing you and trying to evict you, definitely look into suing them.
You may have rights under your State Landlord/Tenant Act, the company violating the law may be considered a debt collector, and you may have some other state laws that protect you from being illegally evicted.
Get with a consumer lawyer in your state to help you with your case, and punish these landlords from breaking the law.
Thanks for watching!

That's when you can get a recording of what's going on. That's when you most need to invest in security equipment and then turn those recordings over to law enforcement. Get a copy of those police reports and get a rental rights lawyer involved, especially if you're disabled and you can find a lawyer who also handles cases for the disabled. When pursuing something legally, MAKE SURE you have a CONSISTENT history of ALWAYS paying your rent IN FULL on time every single month. Keep a copy of all receipts or get a copy of your bank statement of when those rent checks were cashed. As long as you have PROOF that you've paid EVERY DIME DUE, that's going to help you out even more, because I don't lay STRENGTHENS your case.

Is there a way to put a lock on your bedroom from the inside? Plus, you can get one of those door props and make sure that it's much harder to kick down that door. Have the cops on Speed Dial and call them IMMEDIATELY. put them on SPEAKERPHONE so THEY can HEAR what's going on. In a case like yours, just move out anyway. If you don't feel comfortable living there. If you've already requested ending a lease and it was DENIED, then just get the moving truck and do it anyway if you're truly endanger. Any lawyer who gets involved has the resources to help you. Make sure all of your rent has been paid up consistently for quite a long time, leading up to you taking legal action. Make sure you keep all receipts or get a valid bank statement that proves that rent was paid and those checks were cashed. It's best to pay through your bank because you'll have proof of who cast those checks.
@ThePortraitArt

problem is if the landlord is not an idiot they will not do anything so brazen that you can easily record or take a picture and provide hard evidence. They will make living there very uncomfortable for you and harass in much more nuanced and subtle ways that doesn't directly violate any laws, or make collecting evidence impossible. You should be pre-emptively prepared if you sense your landlord is such a person. For example, if you don't leave, I as the landlord just straight up smack you on the back of your head hard. Maybe then I'll make a sound like ouch (as if I got attacked) and then threaten to sue you cuz I have my phone on recording the whole time. What u gonna do? So always be prepared, check your state law and be proactive about it. For example in NY you have the right to put a camera in common area, u have the right to record voice as long as one of the party (you) consent to and knows about it. If the landlords do the stuff he mentioned in the video, they practically begging to be sued and lose. watch out for the more nasty ones.
@johngwatts
@johngwatts 3 года назад
Yes many will be more subtle. The law tends to look at the substance of someone's actions. So if a landlord refuses to repair or refuses to remove rats etc then this can be a "constructive eviction" -- point is to know your contract and your laws in your location. And as suggested -- be very proactive!

The A/C was set to 80, then 83, and now 88, and since it's 10 degrees hotter upstairs, the A/C won't turn on until it's 98 degrees!!! Since the A/C is technically "on," are his actions legal, or not? We have a current rental dispute. Thank you for your help!
@ThePortraitArt
@ThePortraitArt 3 года назад
did you take pictures or video of all that. Doesn't matter if the A/C is on or off, it is part of the implied clause of quite enjoyment that the landlord maintain a reasonable temperature range, unless otherwise specified in the lease that you agreed. (which still has to be reasonable and within common sense. For example it can say due to old heater the temperature can't go above 70, which is reasonable assume you agree and signed) But turning it up really high is a form of retaliation or abuse or other type of illegal eviction attempt. 80 degrees is not too bad but 90 or higher is definitely a problem. You would then request that the situation be remedied asap (as if it is a malfunction). If landlord knows about this, and still doesn't fix the temperature, and you have record of all this, then you can take legal action.

Then next to me is a couple of drug addict alcoholics that get drunk and loud every single night and my landlords responds to this is if I don't like it I always have the right to move and I asked her what about on the lease where it says I have a right to quiet enjoyment she said she didn't know what to tell me but I always have the option to move. Then there's a business in the back bottom part of this building which is hers called stockers gun shop well I used to pay rent there for over 4 years and they would write me a receipt but the last time I was in there there was one customer and three people scanning around talking and I tried to pay the rent and the guy that I've paid it to for over 4 years tells me there's nobody there to accept the money so I tell him I landlord and she tells me that I'm being ignorant and because of this I now have to pay by check or money order because it's too hard on the guys in the shop to write me the receipt. I asked her if my next door neighbors had to do this and she said no just you. Then the address I have to mail this to is to the business right below me so I'm basically mailing it right back to myself isn't that ignorant. Somehow I'm the bad guy for paying my rent on time I've never been late once she's even said that me and her next door neighbors are the only ones who have paid on time every month but then she turns around and says that she has to do check her money order because she can't trust me? She won't fix nothing we got tons of birds living up under the roof there's bird s*** that runs all the way down inside our porch from them living above it I had to put a carport up because of all the s*** coming down on my car daily we have water leaking on the steps to go downstairs from the porch and there is a light in the roof and the water just drips from it but once again if anyone says anything she will know that it was one of the tenants and kick you out so you can't say nothing.

How do you find an attorney in the Charleston area of SC? One on the level. Where finding representation is hard. But, always being on time with lot rent, get along well w others, but just where property managers also ate semiuniinized, where they get a God like complex. Even uppity. I'll state this too, I've been a target of repetitive criminal activities, on a regular bases for years, no one else has this issue, just me. Which I'm not one of the other tenants nor part of management, it's my home, I rent a lot, that's it. Where I was summoned to court before, where others set in on me, trying to nail Mr from any angle possible. Which trying to find representation I could not find as I do not know how to find an attorney for such cases and the referral service provided by the state was no good, as he stated he would have a conflict of interests. Where SC and everything else here seems to favor the money. So, I ask. Where I have called police several times for tangible matters, but they have a terrible disease of malfeasance.

You have been such an encouragement I don’t find it very often on RU-vid “where a lawyer like you seems often care about the tenant ,you’re not near me and I couldn’t come to see you if I could but I wish there were more men and women lawyers that cared about the everyday person and would put out information about every thing about lease agreements and tell us what we can do about each item on the lease agreement and how it ’s a minor. infractions. they shouldn’t be able to evict us .but work with people you’re getting your money for your rent why do you want to evict someone that is a good person that pays their rent there are some people like me that have PTSD and I don’t think like everybody and I’m easily scared or I have tremendous anxiety and depression and it can be even more devastating for me when I have a landlords management jump on me mentally and hurt me and tell me that they don’t believe in mental illness and that I’m making it up and laugh at me and humiliate me and belittle me without helping me because I don’t think I like them anymore i’ve been abused for 17 years and Emma survivor of abuse and almost died from my ex who literally abused me horrifically for years. this is a subject that’s not addressed there are people out there like me that are renting an apartment and we don’t do the right thing all the time it isn’t that we don’t care it’s that sometimes we can have so much going on that it’s short circuits and we forget or we don’t know and we make a mistake and we regret it but why are we being punished by someone who is so hateful landlords management should not be that way there should be some kind of understanding and care about that there is so much mental illness and it can only be exasperated even more by conflict and hateful rhetoric and belittling a person to the point that they feel like they’re not worthy I’ve had suicidal thoughts a lot of times and she’s made me feel this way why does the management want to do something like this when she gets her rent money and now she’s picking on me for the little small stuff which you could say you know this is not allowed please don’t do this I know that you have issues you have to work with everybody there’s not one person that is like everyone else you’re going to find someone who doesn’t beat to the same drum and they don’t mean to do it my brain sometimes we’ll get short-circuited I’ll be doing this and then turn around and do something else and then change my mind and do something else that comes from PTSD and they don’t talk about this with management or landlords don’t remind them you do have renters that have mental issues that you don’t have the right to belittle them!!!!!! talk about that subject

i live in a small town in Alabama, well actually outside the city limits of a small town in Alabama several miles down a couple dirt roads. the property i live on is owned by an individual that has recently a few years ago moved back onto the land himself. he built and moved into a house less than a mile behind "my" house. there are no other people in eye shot except him. the only people that ever come down my dead end dirt road other than myself and the land owner are postal carriers, waste disposal, and another cattle farmer that tends to a small farm on the land. my point is this is not in a sub division or apartment complex or any public viewed city housing location. i know he owns the property but my family has lived and paid rent for over 20 years as of now. I myself have not lived here the entire 20 years. my grandparents were the original leasers of the house. but i came and stayed off and on for several years until 2017 after my grandmother passed and i moved in with my now step dad permanently. during the times i was just visiting i had a vehicle break down and didnt have the funds at the time to fix it. im a car guy and know working on cars takes time. i do like working on cars so you can imagine i have tools and car parts and my car is disassembled to various degrees. at different times. i wasnt living here at the time so i ended up having to go back and forth and eventually i wasnt coming and working on it at all for a couple years. but after my grandmothers passing in 2017 like i said i moved in permanently. at that point i knew i was going to be able to work on my car again. i began buying parts and equipment i knew i was going to need, and then the land owner moved on property and threatened to tow it because he didnt like seeing junk in the yard. mind you this is in the woods and the car was in my back yard by the only car storage area we had (we built a three car carport many years ago because there wasnt anything on the property). after i had already spent several hundred dollars on an engine and other parts. we had to start renting another small lot from a family friend (in another town)to store my car and a few other things from the property. thats been a couple years ago now but just the other day he started back threatening and harassing us about stuff in the yard (yard decorations like benches and tables with stuff on them) and of course i had that motor still but its under a small covered portion of the house that connects the house to a water well. i refer to that 4 foot ish area as a car port even thou you really could only put a riding lawn mower in it. the land owner has once again said i need to get rid of my "junk" motor because he doesnt like seeing it. hes in his late 80s or early 90s but hes constantly in and around my yard on his side by side or a tractor. i dont have a garage so i cant work on anything at night, i cant work on anything when it rains, its rough working on stuff during the summer because as any southerner knows it gets HOT so i only have a tiny window of time that i can actually work on it. so it does sit for long periods of time. should a land owner be able to enforce ruling because of their own opinion. just because he has alot of money and is not handy or mechanically inclined in any way so he just pays someone to do whatever it is that he cant does that mean i cant have a hobby or fix my own property? ill be honest ive been trying to work on this one particular car for almost a decade now with people stopping me every step of the way. it would be running now and the motor that hes complaining about would be in it if he hadnt started threatening to tow it and harass me about it. sorry for the long comment i just need to try and draw the picture of my housing situation so people understand why this really gets on my nerves so much. also i forgot to mention the car was my daily driver at the time so i didnt have another vehicle to drive either. i only over this last couple years was able to purchase a vehicle that i daily drive now.

Am I correct in assuming this applies here in Michigan as well? March, 2020 my (now former) landlord not only violated illegal lockout laws, executed a self help eviction, he also took/stole, currently withholding every last item we owned. He removed 100% of our personal belongings ranging between every item of clothing other than the clothes we were wearing to basic, everyday bathroom essentials, toothbrushes on up to healthcare items such as medications, daily medical necessities, our food, the furniture, even our trash & trash cans were taken without a shred of insight as to where our entire lives were being held against our will, wishes & control. My worst fear was that they had disposed of our personal things. My twin brother passed away 6 years ago in a tragic, untimely death leaving me with only a few personal, physical items to keep him close to me... those things are among the items that were taken as well. My sweet, wonderful, bright, driven, motivated 17 year old son just graduated from Mason High School. (I was unable to give him a Traditional Celebratory (or any alternative whatsoever) "Open House/Graduation Party" that he so completely, indisputably deserves. Due to the lasting devastation as a direct result of this man's actions I was forced into sudden homelessness (currently for 3+ months) without a pillow, blanket or shred of dignity. A less than worthy articulation would be best described as defeating, devastating, paralyzing, debilitating & driven to the depths of dispair with only relentless pain, suffering, uncertainty, agonizing worry, deteriorating physical + mental health in a conflicting state of reclusion. Forced and now desired due to shame, fear, loss of strength, will. As for my wonderful, worthy, deserving of so much more son - I was unable to display comparison pictures, school work or other milestones since his "baby bag + baby book" invaluable momentos were also stolen in this unresolved landlord/tenant robbery dispute). We were never so much as served court papers, there were never any court dates scheduled (which would've at least given us reasonable notice & prevented the loss of every single item that I, we, my family owned). Illegal? Unethical? Immoral? I would think so. I'd love to share the email/formal complaint & excruciatingly delayed response from the AG's office. FTR. The local police dept refused to visit the property, create a report, and much more as far as the list of unbelievable factors, dynamics, and most recently - blackmail/extortion by way of a monetary contingency presented to my s/o from the excluded/above the law, landlord. Until just 2 weeks ago we were 100% unaware of what happened to our belongings, and I was absolutely broken, devastated. After a desperate call to the landlord by my S/O we learned he did, does, in fact have our things. He advised that they're locked up @ an undisclosed location and that he had "planned to sue US" for past due rent but he would potentially "be willing" to "settle out of court" in exchange for our things if we give HIM money. Am I crazy, or is THIS INSANE? (Asking for a friend). Jk No seriously, is this, can this really be happening? I've never felt so powerless, worthless or stupid in my life.

What you should done is every time there is a break in, call the cops, as well as set up some kind of recording device.

The management company has been trying to pass a water bill. The property is mixed income and a majority of residents are section 8 and low income. We have been hit with administration cost, service fees. I have not received a statement. I found out from a neighbor to check the resident portal and there was a bill with all the excessive fees. Most of the residents here do not have computers or email accounts to find out about this. Some may not be able to operate a computer. By the time they get their bill it will be in excess of $300. Is there anything we can do?

I live in the state of Hawai’i my residents manager has taken pictures of my guest while waiting for me in parking lot. My nephew spent the night and she saw him waiting outside the building for me to open door she asked who he was and who was he there for she asked him for identification mind you this is not in our rule book for our guest for provide identification to be on property or to vist he’s a kid 17 he gives her his birth certificate which is all he had in his wallet she takes a picture of it. So that’s the first few incidents with her harassment. My car was repossessed during covid so I’ve been using a family members car to get around so in our complex if you want a a parking stall you have to have a car registered in your name with car insurance and what is called a safety check since the car is not mines and the person who the car belongs to is not on my lease I’m unable to obtain a parking stall so when I park over night I park the car out on public property and walk into my complex. Well one day I had parked the car a bit closer to my complex on a completely different property thats not apart of my apt property it was a shopping mall parking lot. From what the malls security said when I asked about the citation mind I’ve parked at the mall from time to time no problems well on this particular day I see my residents manager as I’m walking into my complex she’s walking towards the mall I’m parked at I come back about an hour later to the car at the mall and there is a citation when I asked about the citation mall security said the manager from the neighboring apt said that car (the car I’m using) is her tenants car and she saw me walking towards my place and that my car doesn’t belongs parked there as I’m I’m not in the stores. She threatened the malls security that if my car doesn’t get cited she will call malls security manager for not doing there job. Reluctantly the security said he had to write the citation as she would not leave till he did. At this point I’m feeling stalked and harassed I make s formal complaint with residents managers management. Which comes to what I believe is a retaliatory action on her the residents manager part. I make a formal complaint it gets sent to her and a few days after she gets sent a copy of my complaint she starts citing me saying I’m not allowed to drive onto property that I need to register my car with her I explained to her about why the car is not parked there as it is not mines to do so and I don’t want to park the car on property. She then says that I’m not longer allowed to drive onto property which I’ve been doing for months with no complaints from her I do no park the car when I’m on property I drive in to drop off and pick up my disabled child or bring in groceries. She’s taken pictures from the building security of the car on property saying I’m violating parking that the car is not register with her and that if I am to drive on to property that I will need a letter of authorization from cars owner saying I’m allowed to drive car she is also requesting that the cars owner give to her a copy of their license and provide the cars registration. Then will I be able to be allowed to drive onto property. No one gets screened upon entering the complex and in my lease it says that we need to provide these things if we are parking in a stall. Can she make such requests also I’m the only one being screened like this or having to provide such information information about people who not even on the lease I feel harassed stalked and her telling me I can’t drive on property is causing me great stress that I can’t get my disabled child home without me driving her on property none of her requests are in our rule book but yet im getting warnings of eviction if I drive onto property. Help🙏🏼

CA? your landlord either doesn't know what they are doing or got complacent. CA and NY are two of the most tenant leaning friendly states. If you don't want to leave, it's a world of pain to your landlord. I hate to say this but even bad tenant who just straight up don't pay can cause their landlords hell. U just keep living ur life, and when he does something, 9/10 he gets in trouble. In CA and NY if there is a dispute between landlord and tenant the landlord needs like 90%+ of proof of right to win the case, while tenant just need to create 10% of doubt to get the whole thing dismissed or even compensated. Is everything up to code, are there enough fire alarm installed and covered at stipulated distances and carbon monoxide alarms. Most time the papers landlord serves a law-biding tenant is just to scare them. They really can't do anything.

He came on to her, then when she rejected him, that's when he started to fish for any reason to get her evicted. The landlord and the judge both broke 2 laws today with not allowing her service dog, and stealing her money. I think this is a private mortgage. Does she have any rights at all, and can the judge and landlord actually get away with breaking 2 laws, and evicting her like that?

That does not sound fair or right. If a judge ruled against her she will need to look at appealing. She needs a consumer lawyer -- www.consumeradvocates.org/find-an-attorney -- and if she can't afford a lawyer then get with legal aid who may can help her for free. Sorry dealing with this -- very sad. John

We do but if the conduct is criminal we always recommend going to the police. If a landlord is physically attacking someone, that's a criminal matter that needs to be handled that way.

THANKS FOR SHARING. my landlord is a council and they harassed me for the past 22years. no hot water or heating, coming into the property in my absence. few days ago, they sent me a warrant of execution section 79, i phone and sent an email to the council. The next day I was sent a text for next day execution, and i phoned them again to talk since it was a repair they stated but no specific time given and i had a clinic appointment (2day after served with warrant). Three people came, i allowed them come in, but only two came inside, they spent half anhour to cut off the gas pipe and boiler, then put label of uncommissioned/ installation,. they left without telling me a thing. they left with no certificate given to me. I don't know what to do.( sorry for this long story)

@TypeOneg

Yeah but how do you get your tenants to pay the $30,000 they owe you?. How do you get a tenant to let you into the apartment for inspection after 2 years without? At what point in time does the court system remove the vexatious litigations they bring against landlords. Actually had a tenant say "I'm afraid of the landlord" , and she actually won a restraining order, it's still in effect 18 months later! She's not afraid of the landlord, she just feels uncomfortable looking at him because the guilt is overwhelming and she does not want to be reminded of her theiving.
@johngwatts
@johngwatts 2 года назад
I think in most states you are allowed to evict and request money damages. Obviously check with your lawyer and any orders from the court. That seems odd that it has been 2 years and you can't even inspect the property...

Harassment with constant notices for frivolous things. Yelling at the one person I found to help me access the dumpsters without me being injured. The lease ... the lease!! Really? My lease says I am not allowed to have a crematorium.... they have gone over the edge !! But.... HUD does not care. People are intimidated. The manager knows how desperate people are. It is demoralizing .

Unfortunately Florida attorneys are either in cahoots with Invitation Homes or they're too afraid of going up against wall street attorneys, regardless of the abundance of documentation I have: Building code violations; Fraudulent building permit inspection affidavits (to get around failed inspections); Consentual Audio/Video of: Retaliation; Complete Fabrications & intimidation in an effort to force me to move out; Notices posted on my door threatening eviction claiming I refused entry for repair; 🤯 5 "inspections" within 1 week, while not having repaired one single thing; 7 repair technicians entered my home simultaneously during Covid-19 lockdown, while I granted permission for only 2 at a time; Property management entering my home while refusing to wear a mask; Fraudulent affidavits; Deliberate shoddy repairs; Knowingly leasing an unoccupiable property (per county code), camouflaging prolonged issues & using dummy vent grates to hide gaping holes leading to attic. I could go on for days..... Instead, I'll just go ahead & upload everything to RU-vid 🤷‍♀️

Sorry dealing with this -- definitely get with Legal Aid or a private consumer attorney to help you.

Would them lying about certain bugs that are not even in that person's house and forcing them to leave the house at 8:00 a.m. in the freezing cold rain weather when they don't have any place to go would that be considered harassment?

Our situation is, we always paid our rent, we kept to ourselves. Didn't bother anyone. But my landlord is friends with the people i used to work with. So when she found out i quit, that's when she started harassing us. She never had any problems with us til then. Then she accused us of being alcoholic and threatened us that if we didn't go to AA meetings every single day of our lives she would have us evicted. So we complied because we didn't want to get evicted. She didn't care if it cost us $30 or even $80 everyday to get back and forth because we didn't have a vehicle at the time. But even so, the lady Still kept harassing us, demanding that we get rid of our decorations in front porch, and grills, and bikes and everything. That's when i basically sent her to EAt mY shoRTs. So after this she went through with the eviction process. We requested a jury trial. We have court this coming Tuesday. 🙂

I live on the apartment on top of my apartment manager and after this whole pandemic started my 3 girls were not allowed to go to school and the lockdown started! Well she have me notices because she said my girls were walking and stomping to loud and the third notice was an eviction notice and the reason for evicting me was because the walking and running from my lil girls was disrupting her peace! Yes that’s literally the reason for the eviction. Mind you I have been living here for 4 years after my divorce, I live alone with my 3 girls (4,8,11 year old) and I have never not once payed my rent late! Even with the pandemic I have always managed to pay my rent! Anyway I went to the property owner to let them know that I was being evicted and they had no idea she was doing that because she didn’t let them know, anyway they told me that I was not evicted and that I could stay! So here is the problem now, she has been harassing me with more notices, she yells at my girls for stepping on the grass, she yells at me accusing me of nonsense. For example today as I was leaving she got out of her apartment to yell at me to tell me that I’m not allowed to have a chainsaw in my apartment and that she’s warning me that she going to come into my apartment to do a Thorough inspection to find the chainsaw 😕 and all I did today was vacuum! A lot of neighbors have heard her yell at me and it’s all because we walk in my apartment but what else can we do we can’t fly 😞 anyway she keeps harassing me and the apartment owners don’t reply to me they just told me to be quiet. She never had a problem with me before and all of a sudden she’s screaming at me telling me to keep my animals under control ( yes she called my kids animal and denied it the next day when I told her that I can’t believe she would ever say that, she said I was putting words in her mouth) she’s crazy and she’s driving me crazy! I need help I can’t live like this anymore and I honestly don’t deserve this being yelled at in front of my girls. Any advice will help 😞

@ThePortraitArt
@ThePortraitArt 3 года назад
this is a type of targeted harassment. It doesn't sound like she threatened any physical harm so it's not likely to be seen as criminal harassment. Either way, first tell them clearly (and always have some kind of record or evidence. look up ur state law, u can write a letter or if law allow it - such as one party state, install a recording app on your phone) Tell her straight up to stop harassing you, that you don't like her behavior and ask her to stop. If she continues, u can get police involved, show them the evidence and so on. If she is still thickheaded enough to keep going, u can file for a restraining order. Don't fight back, keep your cool and let her dig herself in deeper.

Thank you for this video I needed this I’ve been going through some crazy stressful moments from a leasing manager, who took her position and turned it into power and control and targeted me and ever since I have been going through nothing but hell low water pressure I have had shingles can’t sleep anxiety loss on my door on purpose and being petty and on my car every single day and I didn’t know what to do. It all started because I went into the leasing office and I spoke up to her because she was being very rude and disrespectful on the phone and her demeanor is she doesn’t want anyone talking back to her. she should be the one to talk and see what she feels like and you should be submissive, so if there’s anyone out there who lives in Florida and knows, please let me know. I am going to try legal aid, but this is not right just because you have a managers position does not give you the right to bully and harass a tenant it was to the point where I had to call the cops on her.
