My husband and I moved into a old trailer in March 2018. There is no signed lease agreement only word of mouth and a few letters and text messages. We moved in on the deal that we would take care of her 8 horses at night (feeding and watering only). During that time she would have people spy on the house or leave notes on the door about cleaning or moving our vehicles. We never felt safe there. On December 1st she said she no longer needed our help with the horses but now needed us to pay rent so she could hire someone to take care of the horses. She said we could pay at the end of the month. When we went to go pay her, she said not to worry about it until February. On January 9th we received a letter from her stating she wanted us to leave the house by February 15th. My husband and I was already looking for a house to buy in December and began the process. It needed a repair that the sellers fixed but that would delay everything on the house purchase. The landlord was made aware of this and threw a fit. After family members talked to her and she gave us until March 15th. I managed to get the 16th and 17th for the purpose of cleaning it as well. On March 18th she texted me saying that the house is nasty and that we need to go clean it again. Also her horrible handy-man had left a mess in the backyard when he "fixed" the porch. We are getting blamed for it. She is saying that if she has to hire someone to clean it then she will send us the bill. What can we do to make the harassment stop? Is this a case we can sue for never having a peace of mind or quiet enjoyment of the property?
