I have sort of a problem here. I live with my mother, her friend, and my sister. My mom and her friend co-own my house. The lady that owns it with my mom is very spiteful and gets out of control. She treats my sister very nicely but no matter what I say or do I am wrong. I am 21 years old and when I was 16 she took my key to the house away from me. My first question is it illegal for her not to give me a key to my mothers house that I live in. I've come home at times where she refuses to let me in and locks me out. The cops came one time and told her that she had give me a key and if I did nothing wrong she can't lock me out. My mom has is bringing her to court so she can make her buy my mom's half out of the house. Since this has happened she has taken it out on me. It's 100 degrees outside and she lives downstairs in my house. She refuses to put the air on and it gets so hot at night that I actually throw up. We also had a verbal agreement a few months ago that she would help me pay my rent for a school house. The rent is due on the first of the month and she decided not to pay it anymore but did not tell me. I got a call from my room mate the the rent was payed 5 days later and now I have to pay a late fee. Is any of this illegal and is there anything I can do to be treated fairly?

Judgmental much?
