Facing Eviction

Post Reply New Topic

Sorry it is long.
Don't imagine anyone will give a damn but I am facing being thrown out and have been told I am being served notice to leave.


I seriously despair of anyone ever understanding me. Why is it that some out there see fit to treat you like the scum of the earth for being different?

My landlord's daughter has been harrassing me for months on and off over my rent, which is paid by the government due to my currently not being fit to work. These things take time, but she continued to message me and try and call and stop me in the street when she saw me to say how I should be seeing her when she asks and how plenty of others would like my apartment and how most landlords wouldn't put up with this s**t.

She and I both had a letter saying that my rent will be paid in full, and a large check for the backlog is due to her on the 5th November. Yet yesterday, she and her sister crossed paths with me in the street and started having a go at me, saying the usual things and coming across very aggressively.

I was already stressed and had my period, and I just walked off swearing at them as nothing I said seemed to get through. I said I have a letter saying all is being paid, but she insisted I owe her over £200 still, I do not. I have checked into it.

I then went into her father's club/bar nextdoor to ask to see him. Not there. I told her brother I would smash his sisters face in if she didn't stop harrassing me and that she is a bully, then burst into tears and walked out. I was just so full of rage at the time. I realised after it would not bode well.

I went to the bar today to try and get a piece of paper to her to show I had chased up the council and that says when the check is due and how much. She started on me immediately and tried to make me go and face her sister as well and said she is giving me notice as I am mentally gone in the head etc.

Right now, I just hate people. I dont want to live in a world where people are so cold, harsh, unforgiving and ununderstanding of differences. I told her father early on I have AS and don't do well under pressure. This is true. I do not.

I am now just trying to block this all out and pretend it isn't happening.
I feel I want to just see everyone around me die as I am so full of rage at the way people are towards me>
Maybe it is just because I am a freak.

there isn't a strong enough sad emote for this.

Can you sue for the harassment?

I don't know.
She has been doing this for months and months. She is very loud mouthed and pushy which of course leaves me scared of her and reticent in the past to respond to her phone messages.

The housing people told me she shouldn't be doing this and that it is wrong.

I have called my mother and told her what is going on and my brother was trying to call her father to discuss it.

But I got so mad at her I told her I would top myself in her apartment, and that is the part that didn't go down too well I think, plus she told me she doesn't want their club's reputation ruined by me going in there in tears.

I am kinda numb right now. I just have had so many issues with these people but when you are on support, few landlords will take you as so many on support are drug users etc.

My only option is to get my doctor to write a letter to the council stating my medical problems and hope they can find me one of their own apartments to live in.

She sees my behaviours as being me being difficult when really it is just that she scares me and I preferred to avoid her because of that.

Perhaps you could tell her this in writing?

Greed can do funny things to people.

Im not sure were you live but i hope these links help. There might be something in one of these acts that can help you get the justice you deserve.

Thanks. I am based in the Uk.

And Jainaday, write what?
She is the tough sort who just gets on with the job and is about as sensitive as a brick, lol.
I could tell her all of how she has made me unnerved by her and it would be seen as pathetic, no doubt, which maybe it is, but it does not change the fear.

And she must surely realise her behaviour is not acceptable towards me.

Disgusting behaviour. Abuse due to greed and prejudice.

I think that you have grounds for legal action, it seems like discrimination.

I hope that you find a new apartment in the meanwhile.

Thanks.
And I possibly do have grounds as last year I was a witness to a beaten up woman running out of their bar and it is she who is now facing court for doing this.

I dont think she is aware I was a potential witness and gave a statement..at the time I did not realise it was landlord's daughter involved.

I'm not sure of that.

There are many different kinds of socially unaware.

I suggest explaining in confident terms what behaviors of hers you wish to have change, and why- but not "because I am a pitiful weakling" why- more of "because it's common courtesy" why.

Text is so much easier. . .

Can you ask someone from the support office to talk to her, even if only over the phone? Some people respond better to authority figures.

I suggest vandalism.

I persoanally can't wait to be evicted. I'm tired of living with my mother in this s**thole, so I'm going on the computers (which I was banned from) and when they come down to kick me out I'll shock them and ask for the eviction notice right now! Haha. I'm crazy, I jknow. Depression.

Thanks for the support.
My brother spoke to her father and he spoke to me today and said I am not being evicted, in spite of what she said.
My mother said she was just mouthing off etc and was angry... tho I am not so sure.
Her dad, fortunately, has always been more sympathetic to my issues and mother says he has been worried because I seem to sleep all day.
However, I think I shall look into council housing all the same as I don't know I can ever be happy here given the circumstances.
It is just a relief that that pressure if off.

My doctor has written a letter anyway stating that I need to be given priority in housing due to mental health issues.

You need to get an advocate for the handicapped to step in for you asap. That or a social worker. Have them be the mediator with your landlord, explaining the situation, providing some type of official documentation stating that they will indeed be receiving payment for the rent. You need to do this right away, if it's not too late.

Wow! The things I miss sometimes!

I don't have anything to offer but my support from across the pond.

I'm glad there is some hope that the tension will ease up a bit for you concerning the landlords.

Do keep us posted.

Can you get a restraining order or call her in for harassment? I guess she is not physical, but still what a nasty person. It makes you wonder who is the real crazy person? I know in the us we have craig's list in which you can rate and put in your experiences with companies and businesses. Is there a website in the UK for that? I just hate to hear you get bullied by some loud-mouthed heifer who should know that the check will come in each month. Is she stupid or something?
