Does anyone have any experience dealing with the mentally unbalanced?
I deposited 60 cash for an apartment on the 199th of last month, have the receipt. I gave the balance of 1st month and security via check on the 1st of this month. I called the next morning to complain that the place was still pretty dirty, and that a security deposit was to insure that I left it as I found it. I was not rude.
He called me back that morning and went a little nuts, you know, on the offensive, but we left it that I was going to have the number for the land lady (his sister in law) and the rest of the keys by Monday morning. I worked all weekend on the place, cleaning and washing windows, hanging curtains, hauling stuff up there, a washer and dryer...
Tonight he calls me, wakes me out of a sound sleep, to scream at me over the phone that I have to get my "shit out" or he'll throw it out of the window.
So I went there tonight and called the police, the officer said he would testify that I do indeed have a key, all my stuff was there, and that I need to call civil courts or some such in the morning. My boss is calling her father, a lawyer, to help me. I have to work tonight, all my stuff is there, and if he changes the locks I'm SO screwed.
I got the number for his sister who informed me that the check wasn't cashed and she doesn't think it'll work out. I told her that I worked all weekend getting stuff straight in there, that what she was trying to do is not legal, her agent's behavior was not normal, and that I'm contacting the authorities. I have video of the place, the key turning the lock, the officers testimony, and the receipt. How do I deal with this nightmare???
Don't listen to that idiot Madeline.
You started trouble with the landlord on the first day. He was very smart to not cash your check. You are signaling that you are trouble.
Pack your bags and get out. You are a thief. You never paid for shit if your check was not cashed. Your belongings have not been there long enough to establish any sort of legal residency.
next time learn to STFU or better yet, stop being such a control freak with other people's property
Actually, every local and state official I spoke to says I took possession of the property and established tenancy when he accepted my check and gave me keys. The electricity is on in my name, and I will be staying long enough to make sure he is forced to meet his responsibilities. He brought the check back to the apartment and left it on the stove. Those funds will be placed in escrow until the repairs are made. Its almost winter, there are windows broken and others that do not close completely or at all. Code enforcement is getting involved because the attempted eviction took place as retaliation for bringing enforceable code to his attention. He can go to jail for that. He's a slumlord, and he ran into the wrong woman with his bullshit.
Go get 'em, sista! I knew there was a good explanation for why this shitheel bugged out...you're a doll, and I knew it wasn't your manners.
Now if Dante had been told to get the fuck out, I'd have a different take on things.
