Being evicted from attic apt after 17 yrs. Not disputing move, just need xtra time due to disability (I have med docs). Went to court today (L had atty). We sat in front of mediator. Mediator seemed to put pressure on me that even though apt is illegal, I cannot stay without paying rent. I have cross complaint (security & L's son damaged my A/C) & I requested Judge. (Mediator put pressure on me disregarding my disability docs). L claims that she "just found out" apt wasn't legal (BS!). Mediator seemed to side with L who claimed ignorance. Although "inorance is not a crime, is it an excuse for not checking into when she bought house from her ex-husband?". Bldg Inspector made this comment! Yes she wants me out, & I am leaving. But why was I the bad guy?
Also, I had Bldg dept inspect & violation was sent to L. I received nothing about being told to leave by 12/5. L's atty said that I must get out by 12/5 cause of Bldg Dept summons. I called Bldg Dept. (There is NO immenent danger except for her putting bottles on stairs used for my Emergency exit, & no light leading down the stairs - I took pix with newspaper). Bldg dept has no info re: my having to leave by 12/5.
I will be calling a legal aide atty this week. Hopefully, I will know about new apt in Fla by end of next week.
I'm asking this as it may take me some time to get thru to Legal Aide. I feel at ease when I have some answers. In addition, her atty made what seemed nasty comment - "She'll be the last one laughing". Why is he considering this a laughing matter?
