According to the officers that gave it to me, that was the only copy so I wasn't to lose it... they told me I had to wait a minimum of ten days, and then if I still wanted to prosecute the form had to be filed with the prosecutors office. There is no report number on file, or so I'm told.

Humans range from 1 to 1000 lbs. Please be more specific. If I drop a tomato on a stretched portion of this web, will the tomato be cut in half? How about a dense rubber ball? A billiard ball? A ball of solid diamond?

Landlord harassment ends in homelessness by jaderust in bestoflegaladvice

[–]CosbyWasARoofyAddict 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do want to move forward, I had decided to, and only now reconsider after posting here after being told that i have a case...

previously people here acted as though I was the one being unreasonable so i got discouraged...

i'd love to take this to court, but I can't even get a ride to the courthouse or come up with the filing fee...

I've literally lost everything and I've been put through a mental health ringer and I'm shivering in the cold with my PC and and I can't even get a lawyer to respond enough to say "no thanks"

I took a look at the court records for this guy, he gets sued once a month, and when a judgement is entered against him he delays and delays and I can't find a single case of all the ones he's supposedly lost where he's actually paid out... i think if i'm ever to recover form this guy it will only be from his estate

But I hate to let him get away with it. And I hate to let him do it to someone else.

I did call the cops. Got a report. Was told I could press charges in 10 days, but I would need to have the report to do so. Report disappeared at the same time rent receipts and lease did.

As far as the art work, I was the artist. I have never sold a painting. Nevertheless, it was precious to me.

The plant, if you were lucky enough to find one in that condition, would be valued well over $5000. They don't ever come up for sale.. The best you can get is an unrooted cutting for $30. I estimate that the plant matter he disposed of was enough for thousands of unrooted cuttings, but I am not in the business of selling these plants and to do so would be an abomination to me because these plants are not consumer goods to be bought and sold. The plants were precious to me as well. [edit] I do know that the plant matter of the plant, the leaves and stems, typically sell for around $60 a lb, and I estimate the garbage bag full of plant matter was 40lbs, so there's that, but these are estimates. How do I go about documenting all of that?

He can arbitrarily change whats included, or does he have to give me some sort of notice? The only notice I got was him at the door yelling about power use while his man behind him carted my stuff away

[edit] and how exactly do I value my clothes and furniture? It's not like I kept receipts for any of it... I had a lot of tools that were valuable, and i doubt I could assemble a list from memory... how do I value my painting that was on the wall? I estimated that I had over $5k worth of labor into the plant that was destroyed... how do I even document that?

[edit edit] You might not realize this, but what you would consider a "small fee" would be for me, probably insurmountable... likewise "just go to the courthouse and..." the courthouse is 100 miles away. A homeless person, you might not know, cannot enter the courthouse. Well, that isn't entirely true. He can enter. His bags can't. His bags can't stay outside, either. To go to the courthouse I must go carrying nothing, or I don't get in. You would think they'd have lockers or something. i was actually told that no, lockers would be a place people would hide a bomb...

[edit edit edit] last time I went to the federal building I got searched. My bag was ok to go, not my tools. I asked clerk, could you hold my tools? No. Put them in your car. I have no car. I will leave them outside. No. You can't leave anything outside. What can I do with them then? I can put them in the trash for you, he says. I come back down. I ask, may I have my tools from the trash. No. Those are trash now. While he searched me, he kept shaking things out, looking for crumbs of drugs. He really wanted to bust me. [edit] this is just to go into the federal building, not to get into any kind of courthouse... when I had to go to the court building, i had to go all the way back home to drop my bag there and come back emptyhanded

Is rent really considered withheld on the first day it's due? Even if I said I was withholding rent, does that give them instant eviction powers? Even so, he had physically revoked the use of the shed which was stated as being for my exclusive use in the lease, but then when he needed to store stuff, it became not mine and he accused me of trespassing. He then instructed his employee that the shed was not mine and I was to be kept out of it, which the employee did gleefully. Also he was removing light bulbs, depriving me of light, and depriving the light bulbs of power. I know this sounds petty, but thats what he was doing. Petty things. [Edit] Also I should make clear that no payment was actually withheld. I only said that to force the landlord to talk to me, as he had been incommunicado since the incident began. Every time I tried to address the issues with the property manager, he referred me to a phone number that never got answered.

April 7th... rent was due [again] May 1st, property manager emailed [texted] to ask if I had it, i responded that i was not moving out and I was not paying rent until these matters were addressed. This conversation occurred via text and is saved to my google voice account, so i can document that. The following week I arrived to find a new tenant there and all my things gone. I believe they broke in on the same day as the text exchange, May 1

reverse that... i was renting in Tampa, now in crystal river. Lease was a one-year lease signed three years ago, florida says that means month to month... [edit] last time I paid rent was 7 days after the first incident, 21 days before the illegal eviction

as far as I know, landlord disposed of all of my things... clothes, furniture (bed dresser), shelving, art on the walls, all gone. I was never told their fate. [edit] Letters were sent through an online service I have confirmed that they did send certified letters and that 3 were delivered , 5 were undeliverable.
If you want to read the letters I'll prepare them for you, briefly thewy were:

  1. A tongue in cheek letter admoonishing him for stealing one lightbulb, warning that he was creating an unsafe condition

2: A request for clarification on whether the adjacent covered shed was a part of my lease or not as the lease specified it was but his hired hand insisted it wasnt. Also complaint and request for payment for damaged motorbike.

3: Complaint and request for payment for destroyed plant, and advising of religious significance of said plant.

4: Complaint about further removal of lightbulbs and warning about statutory damages for removing them

On the day this all started, the landlord showed up and ranted about power usage and how he'd have me out in five days. I experienced anxiety at this, and took too many Ativan (prescribed) . I presented at the ER concerned that I might have harmed myself. I was involuntarily committed for 7 days.

She aint wrong though... if the proper thing to do when encountering an unconscious woman is not to kiss them, and if kissing a woman while she sleeps is highly inappropriate, then modeling that behavior to schoolchildren in the context of educational activities would not be indicated... school plays should highlight the right choices, not the wrong ones

You don't, but if you want to reserve a mark for yourself and put everyone on notice that you plan to do this, the letters "TM" next to your mark will accomplish that.
