Being Evicted

[Graelwyn]

My landlady never liked me, and judged me for my psychiatric issues, harrassing me and calling me names when she walked past. She has now served notice and wants me out. I have 2 months to find somewhere, and on top of all my other stresses, it is a bit much.

Asking for any energy and wishes that I find somewhere else to go quickly, so I don't end up totally losing it. Thanks.

Oh sweetie! I'm sorry, thats the last thing you need :hugz: I'm lighting a candle for you tonight :rubhead:

Don't worry. Sounds like you've reached the bottom and there is nowhere to go but up, I'm sure only the best is in your future. Loving energy sent your way. Just step back, take a deep breath, and know that you are never alone and we love you, faults and all.

[Lunacie]

Energy sent for finding a safe harbor. :hugz:

[Shanti]

Energy for something better than you have had.
Sometimes their is a silver lining when things look bad.
I wish for you that silver lining.

[aranarose]

At least you've got a couple of months to find a new place! Around here when you're evicted, you get about two or three weeks :(

Good luck on your search! :hugz: for the stressful situation!

[Graelwyn]

Thanks all. It is a horrible feeling, and I am struggling to sleep, waking up stressed and insecure.
So scared I wont find anywhere to go.

[Philosophia]

Sending positive, prosperity, and comforting energy to you! :hugz:

Lots of energy for ya.

Me'd, I'd make her take the eviction to the courts and use the harassment against her. Friend of mine did that and ended up with the courts finding in her favor. Her landlord had to refund her six months worth of rent money and could not evict her from the property until he had paid her. Took him two months to pay her and she had more than enough money to move on.

I might be considering the above. I will be going to our citizens advice bureau to see if I can do anything as she has caused me considerable mental distress, but really, I just want to find somewhere else, and have to pray it is not too tiny because I do get panic attacks if I am in small areas. This is a nice size apt, I am used to the area and it is going to be very hard to leave here.

Thankyou all for your support and energy, it means a lot. I am on auto pilot, but woke up and cried for hours today. Fortunately, my bf is helping me look for somewhere and supporting me or I would be very isolated in this.

contact the residential tenency board. To give a legal eviction notice, the landlaord must get permission and have the notice authorized. Otherwise the notice doesn't legally count. Unfortunatly so many people don't realize this.
in the mean time just look for a new place. It's no good for you to live somewhere where your harrassed all the time.
i would also take her to court for all the verbal abuse you had to put up with. If you have a picture phone or voice recorder, record the next time you encounter her.

The first apartment I ived in had an unscrupulous caretaker. Every first of the month, she would go knocking on doors for the rent. If you didn't get yor money right when she came to your door, she would hand you an eviction notice. She just didn't care if your waiting for your hubby to come home with his pay cheque. We never took those evction notices seriously but they did worry us because we didn't know tenents and landlord rights at the time.
I believe the schools should teach kids about renting and all the tenency laws.

:hugz: to you. I'm sorry you're going through this; I'm dealing with just the possibility of eviction, so I can only imagine how scary this must be for you. And I'm with everyone else; take that broad to court. I don't know how the laws work where you are, but I bet it'd take about 5mins. for you to find an attourney willing to take up your cause. In the meantime, just try to stay calm and know it'll get better.

Thanks again.
To update, my landlord is making things difficult for me. In spite of being asked by myself, my mother and my brother, he has yet to give me official notice that I have to leave...with a time limit. Without this, I cannot register myself as homeless with the government housing people and start the ball rollling with finding somewhere else to go.

He has also used some underhanded intimidation, saying he could easily move some people into the front apt who could make my life hell if I don't co-operate.

Work has started on the plot of land nextdoor, with bulldozing and god knows what else waking me up at 8am. I find the noise intolerable and stressful. My health is suffering and I am finding myself constantly drained and tired and lacking motivation to even get up.

I have started looking for somewhere else, but without paperwork...and more importantly...a reference...it is going to be very difficult.

Use the bold above against him. Without something official he can't make you leave. He's just trying to intimidate you rather than going about things properly. I would demand proper documentation and threaten to take him to the courts if he's not willing to show he has gone about things properly. He's mistreated you in the past, discriminating against you. Don't let him pull a fast one.

Is he verbally threatening you? Is there anyway you can record what he says to you without him knowing? If he really wants you out then he should do his part otherwise he should leave you alone.

I keep forgetting to make a call when he is talking to me, so someone else can hear him.
I have not seen him since Sunday when he made the threat.
I am seeing a solicitor tomorrow, who deals with people being assisted by the government and am hoping she can help.
