verbal agreement to rent trailer for unlimited period. (Landlord told me he would never raise my rent or evict me if I fell on hard times- I have rented here for over a year and have only recently been late on rent. He told me we could always work things out- nothing in writing) We live in a very poor section of town, trailers are in bad condition but rent is cheap for all tenants. (10)
lost job, car broke down, landlord agreed for me to work off rent until I could pay it.
3 months back on rent, landlord never has available work for me to do to pay off rent , yet hires another tenant to work for pay.
grown son and DIL live with me- got jobs, are making attempt to get bills paid, inlcuding rent-they have paid 205.00 toward rent in last 30 days, rent is $200.00/month. Trying to spread money over all bills so nothing gets shut off.
Last payment toward rent $75.00(2 weeks ago-Dec15-04) , landlord marked out (for rent) in memo area of check before he deposited it.
Landlord comes by 2-3 times daily asking when money will be paid knowing when payday is (every 2 weeks).
I Am friends with landlords wife and visit daily, helping her with her livestock, without pay- I do it to be nice not for pay. I even bought all the Thanksgiving food (food stamps) and we had dinner all together to help take burden off for not being able to get rent paid.
My fencing for my livestock was bought by me, put up by landlord and myself.
Landlord has threatened to take down fencing , allowing my livesotck to run in road.
Landlord has threatened to cut off water to trailer.
Jan 1- 2005 Landlord called my residence to talk with DIL about rent (the 3rd time that day) she hung up on him. I was at his house having coffee with his wife and he came into the kitchen, yelling at me and ended up throwing me against the wall 4 times before I cold get out of house. I am 50 yrs old, under 5 ft tall weight about 120, he is 49, 6 ft and weighing about 280.
I called 911 and filed a complaint, he was taken in by police and back home that night.
I have now where else to go with livestock, no money tomove them.. will be able to have rent caught up within 45 days.
My questions are these: Can he shut off water to trailer? Can he cut fencing or take it down letting livestock out to get in road? If rent is paid up can he still eveict me for having police take him in for throwing me against wall? Should I drop charges of assault?
