222. I know the difference between an emotional support animal

and a trained service animal and a therapy animal.

It isn't a matter of not being evicted but of being thrown on the street. I haven't BEEN evicted since the eviction judgment allowed me to stay here as long as I paid the scumlord X amount of money in just a few days I had no hope of paying. If I didn't pay it in time or file an appeal then I would have been thrown out of here on the street in just about 10 days from the last day I had to pay her the money and didn't.

The ONLY reason I did the appeal at all was to keep from being thrown out onto the street losing everything I have. The appeal hearing isn't until November, so if I could afford to I could continue to pay the rent to the court that they put into escrow until the appeal hearing. NEVER. The longer I'm stuck here the more physically sick from the stress of being stuck in this situation I get. My whole plan was to get a job immediately and make as much money as I could with one single month before I'd have to pay the court again and move somewhere else and just default on the appeal. The appeal has never been anything else but the only option there was to just buy a little time to get out of here with somewhere to go TO. I don't care how small a place it is or how dangerous a neighborhood. I don't even care anymore about most of my things though I'd like to get the basics out and be able to store some stuff somewhere so at least the township won't get it. Most of the stuff I've accumulated for the years I've been here they can have and do whatever the hell they want with it.

Being stuck here means still being stuck in this utter hell of a situation. I want OUT of here and have wanted out of here for several years but never had the money to do it. Renting another place means having to pay the first and probably last month's rent as well as the equivelent of a month's rent just to sign a lease. I'd still need a job and at least probably about $2100 just to sign a lease unless maybe I can find something even cheaper in a crappy neighborhood. I've already LIVED in a crappy neighborhood since I moved in here over 10 years ago though it's gotten a good deal better. Unfortunately, the worst people live next door to me. Over the years I just got numb to how bad this street was though it's significantly improved than what it was like when I first moved in. The shit I've had to put up with with just my next door neighbors alone has made me barking nuts and would have made anyone nuts. At least the cops aren't here every couple of days for one or the other or both anymore.

It's just that nothing worked out they way I'd hoped, and giant obstacles were constantly put in my path. I made the epic mistake of listening to my family that I HAD to get help from government services when I should have given them all the finger and kept looking for work. Of course, that wouldn't have done a thing about the lawsuit I had to Answer myself or the scumlord harrassing me and sabotaging my car. I KNOW her only point to the lawsuit at all was to force me to spend my time on it so I couldn't spend it looking for a job or working at one. SHE believes that I want to stay here indefinitely though I have no idea why after the shit she's put me through and I'm still stuck with as long as I'm stuck here. Had I had just a piece of floor somewhere with Yoshi and a bathroom to use and somewhere for most of my stuff to go other than the vital essentials I would have BEEN out of here already. But I DON'T have anywhere to go since my family abandoned me and won't even hold on to my computer or personal papers, none of my neighbors can take me in since they either are living on the thin edge themselves and/or haven't anywhere to put me living in homes that are packed already with people. I don't know anyone else since the friends I have live in other states and my social life has always been through my work which suited me just fine.

As for what I've learned about an ESA that's legal and registered they are legally just as medically necessary as medication, a prosthetic limb or whatever else is medically necessary for a person and can't be forced into a situation where they can no longer have that medically necessary thing because that medically necessary thing can't survive. My having a legal and register ESA would be just as medically necessary as my meds, and I can't be forced into a situation where I can't have my meds as the animal is prescribed just as meds or anything else that's prescribed. So, if I can't legally be forced into any situation where I can't have my meds, how can I be forced into a situation where I can't have my ESA or that situation is one he can't survive? What his being my ESA means is that it's likely that a reasonable accomodation would have to be made so that I can still have him and that he can be reasonably taken care of. What that reasonable accomodation might consist of I don't know. But I'm not seeing how I could be thrown out onto the street in a situation that I couldn't have him since he'd be medically necessary and that he couldn't survive. I jut can't find anything in the Federal or PA law or any case law that comes anywhere near what my particular situation is. I haven't been able to even figure out what area of law this would fall under, so don't have any idea what sort of attorney to ask that would know.

I already knew that shelters are exempt from having to accept ESA's. That actually works in my favor not that it matters since my useless case worker never bothered to get me on the waiting list for one, and now it's WAY to late. Not that I could cope with that situation anyway. What I've already read about the shelter scares the shit out of me.

Other than that I'm out of ideas. This one is my only possible hope left to not be thrown out on the street without some kind of reasonable accomodation being made to keep that from happening. If I get to a point where I know there isn't a damn thing left that can be done I'll be back to thinking about how to get out of this horror the only other way there is. There's no way on earth I can lose my entire world and have to live somehow on the street. I never understood how anyone did it. That isn't life it's torture. I can't even THINK about having to do that without completely breaking down. I don't know how anyone wouldn't.

Ironically my scumlord and I want the same thing - she wants me out and I want to get out as long as I have somewhere to GO where I can still hold a job and not lose the most important things I have. Had she just been reasonable and made a reasonable accomodation with me so that I COULD get out with somewhere to go and still have a life she would have gotten her house back just as she wanted to rent to some other poor soul, and I'd finally be out of here and away from her and able to just continue having my life.
