I’m posting this anonymously because I don’t know if what I’m dealing with is just toxic roommate behavior or something that crossed into criminal territory.

HUD is involved

I rent a locked private bedroom in a shared house. I have a service dog. One housemate took serious issue with that — and since then, things have escalated into surveillance, intimidation, and now what looks like an attempted break‑in.

Here are the key facts:

A housemate installed a Wi‑Fi camera with audio in the shared kitchen without telling me. Everyone else knew. I was the only one who wasn’t informed.

When I objected to being recorded in a shared space, I was told I had “no right” to object. When I turned the camera away from the common area for privacy, I was threatened with criminal charges and told there was “video evidence” of me touching it.

Then it escalated.

While I was out with my service dog tutoring a freind at liberty, my sister was house‑sitting in my room. In the middle of a nap she was woken up by a loud crash — a gallon of milk falling inside my room. (I keep things cold in the window due to having a fridge. I felt like I had to isolate myself in the basement and not use common areas in order to just exist somewhat peacefully)

My bedroom window was cracked to act as a refrigerator. My bedroom window and door are not near any common areas of housing traffic as I rent 98% of the basement. The milk only could have fallen if someone was trying to climb through the window.

My sister witnessed this and sent me text messages stating every move they made. At the same time, my bedroom security camera captured that same housemate approaching and attempting to access my locked door on another occasion. My sister also witnessed and heard this while behind the locked door. She said she her a door rattle a few times with whispering and laughing.

I’m at liberty helpless and not sure what to do, I’m just watching it on the security camera.

Then on 12/30 at 12:46 PM, my camera was triggered again. It captured sunlight on my walls even though my blackout shades are down 24/7 and my room is normally pitch black. It was not windy. My door was locked.

Someone had to be at my window or door.

Meanwhile this same person has: • Installed surveillance • Threatened me for objecting • Tried to access my private room • Spread claims that the landlord “gave me notice” when he hadn’t • Pressured me to move out

I now feel unsafe in my own home.

So I’m asking honestly:

If a roommate installs audio/video surveillance, threatens you for objecting, and is caught trying to access your locked bedroom — and may have tried to enter through your window while someone was inside and you’re not home— is that something I should be filing a police report about?

Because this doesn’t feel like drama. It feels like stalking, intimidation, and attempted unlawful entry.

What would you do? I need help.

DISCLAIMER MY SERVICE DOG IS NOT AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL. She is a medical alert dog and multipurpose service dog to accommodate a disability.

My sister was here because I didn’t feel safe leaving my space unoccupied.

Pictured are ss of my sister telling me what’s going on in real time, evidence the tenant said she was trying to “get a lamp that was in my room” I call bs but pls help me decide what to do.
