(50,130 posts)What's to stop this landlord from trying worse next week? I feel like you have to get away from this situation.
One thing I don't understand is how the law isn't being followed. Normally a 30-day notice is required to evict, unless the renter is engaging in criminal or dangerous activity. And even after that time, a sheriff must post a notice and that takes many days. Normally there's a penalty for a landlord not complying with the law that protects renters.
What would you think about going to your local TV station? Or would that make matters worse for you?
Is your car strong? Would it pull a trailer? Could you put some stuff in storage or sell off the furniture quickly and re-locate somewhere where rents are cheaper? There oughta be small towns in Pennsylvania or West Virginia with more housing options.
You could pull this off in four days with some gofundme help, perhaps? Find a storage place, get some church people to help you clean out the town house. Then sell stuff and relocate.
I wonder if you could be termed a woman in danger for purposes of the special services that can be provided. Normally that's a man-woman type thing, but this is just as damaging as domestic violence.
Just some thoughts.
