OMG I'm going to be thrown into the street!

17. because I have nowhere to go

She got me fired from my job. Like an idiot I kept paying her with all my savings that I was also living off of while looking for another job until there was just nothing left. At first because she knew it was her own fault that I lost my income she was working with me to get back to being able to pay the rent. By that time I wanted to get the hell out of here but with no income and no money I can't rent so much as a cardboard box. Then out of the blue I get the hearing notice on my door and had about three days to gather evidence for it (there were two more days but they were weekend days where I couldn't do much of anything other than get prints of the photos and I'd already done that). I also had to look up all the laws and talk to random landlord/tenant attorneys on the phone just doing free consults for clarification of the laws, etc. I had to call legal aid who were no help at all and still aren't.

All of this eviction stuff happened in a matter of days and was so dire I had to put off the job search to deal exclusively with it. Not that it mattered since the judge ended up trampling all over my rights, the state law and wouldn't even allow me to speak at the hearing! I'm still shocked by this. Jesus, he's a judge for heaven's sake! What the hell kind of judge just railroads over someone's rights, totally ignores the law and doesn't even let them speak in their own defense??? He's the only judge and the pinnacle of the district court. He can do whatever the hell he wants and there's no one to do anything about it.

I just hung up with another really nice officer since the one last night told me to call them with every incident of her harassment. This latest was the landlord going ape shit on the phone again, I told her that I'd talked with the police already (as they said I should do) and that if she doesn't stop harassing me she can be arrested. Right now I can go down to the district court and file a criminal complaint because of the harassment but I'd have to pay a filing fee I don't have and this would be before the same asshole judge. I'd actually rather that she did something they can arrest her for.

This last nice officer I talked to said that if she shows up at the property or tries to enter with her own key to call 911 and they can arrest her at that point. Like the two others I talked to this one also said to not worry about my dog and if he eats off her face trying to barge in that's her problem and to be happy I have Yoshi to protect me if she's nuts enough to try. And she is. There have already been close calls of her just barging into the backyard right up to my back door and thank heaven Yoshi just didn't happen to be lose in the yard those times. I had put the chain and lock on the back gate mostly because of her invasions. She's never understood that it could be dangerous for her to just enter the property willy nilly even if it's the back yard, so it wouldn't be surprising that she would just barge into the house with Yoshi here. Except now I'm discovering the hard way just how batshit crazy she is, and I wouldn't put it past her to either barge right into the house or send in innocent people like the plumber or other workers.

This was why the plumber called to warn me and that he knew about my dog and wouldn't have himself or any of his workers come in without my securing him first. I also had to warn all the agents at the code enforcement office that I had a big dog and she can't just let people in using her own key for their own safety. They were the ones that told me she isn't allowed to come in or let anyone in herself anyway without my knowledge and permission. Because of her being crazy I told them she's already lied to the plumber about permission I gave to let them in to do work that I knew nothing about and that if she ever says that she has permission and knowledge from me she very well may be lying and putting them in danger because of Yoshi and to always check directly with me to be sure. They were very appreciative of the info and promised that any agent will check with me first before coming in to make sure that I've given permission and secured the dog.

This last psychotic phone call she said she was coming over with workers on Saturday to fix some stuff the township is now forcing her to do. I told her Saturday was not a good day for me and that I needed to know when workers would be coming, what they'd be doing and how long they'd be in the house. She still thinks that because she owns the property she can just come in willy nilly whenever she likes. She's never once arranged convenient times to fix things with me even when I WAS working. Though some things I had to take off work for because they were emergencies and she never actually fixed forcing me to use my own money to get someone competent and take the price off the rent.

I'm hoping she does show up sometime on Saturday and tries to barge in so I can call the police and get her arrested. They think that at some point she'll escalate to that.
