landlord harassment

[Sid]

I have a sub tenancy. The landlord has alleged to my neighbors that I am an illegal tenant. Is this slander? Even if it were true, is he allowed to disscuss my personal details with other tenants?

If anything goes wrong in the building he automatically presumes I am to blame. Somebody disposed of the garbage incorrectly so the landlord complained to my guests instead of me. Is this harassment? should he come to me. I feel he is behaving disciminatorily.

He has threatened to kick me out but has no reasonable grounds to do so.

I am very concerned. Do I have any rights against him. I s he technically committing any offences?

My response:

Please look at the top, left, corner of this page. It says, "State Laws vary greatly. Include your state in all postings."
A lot of you have "State specific" questions, yet you good folks are not reading, and FAIL to tell us your State. There are 50 States in the Union, and all have differing laws. We cannot help you with anything but "general" concepts of law if we don't know your State, and "general concepts" may HURT YOU.

NOTICE:
Therefore, this writer will, from now on, IGNORE all questions and entries unless they include your State.

My response:

There is no legally cognizable harassment from what you said. In New York, an owner or landlord has the right to evict on a 30 day Notice. Obviously, there is a personality conflict going on and, to possibly help correct the situation, ask the landlord if he/she and you could have a civil, sit down, discussion to talk about the "problems" and come to an equitable resolution.
