Landlord Wants To Throw Us Out In 5 Days

[DRAGONSFIRE]

What is the name of your state?PA
I have been havin probs with my landlord for quite some time. about 7 mo ago I had to call the gas company to come investigate a gas smell, and found that the furnace had a gas leak, and the furnace was red-tagged. I called the landlord that night, and he did not answer the phone, so I left a message on his work, home and cell phones to tell him about it. I was also told at that time, by the gas company, that the landlord is using my gas and water for the other apartment. The land lord did nothin about it but got smart with me for calling the gas company. I decided then, that after he done nothing for all the other problems in the house (roof leaking, celing in bedroom colapsing, porch falling apart, bathroom sink leaking, water lines broken, water running out of hot water tank, celing in living room falling apart, furnace, etc.) that I was not going to pay rent until things were repaired. I wrote him a note stating everything that needs to be done, and told him I was withholding rent. He evicted me the next day. So I called the code officer and the place needs to be red-tagged. The code officer didnt because I have 2 small kids and no where to go. So last night the landlord came to my house saying I have 5 days to get out because I got him in trouble with the code officer. What shoud I do?

I read your previous posts, please repost with an accurate account of what has happened because none of what you have posted agrees from time to time and post to post. Have you read the LL/T laws ffor your state as your were advised when you were evicted before?
No one here can help you if you don't tell the truth or keep your story staight.

I am telling the truth, I just did a quick run down and added what recently happend, I did check the llt laws, but it doesnt affect the landlord. when the landlord came in last night all this came up. that is why I just wrote a few things down to get people familiar with who I am and what I am going threw.I am sorry if I didnt get things quoted to the exact "t" as in my last posts.

In June you were there for 2 years, then in September, you were there for 11 months, you have been previously evicted and or locked out, obviously you got back in somehow. You apparently have not read the LL/T laws in their entireity nor are you telling us the truth or an accurate chronology.

It does no good to update based on lies or missing facts. You need to go to court and answer the legal papers presented to you, or take action against your landlord. You need to seek legal assistance where you live, give them all your records etc, rambling on here won't help you. If the place is red tagged the LL should be assisting you in moving.

Or perhaps named, Merlin, since time is running in reverse for them, maybe too much gas fumes

Maybe just too much gas.

I cannot believe how rude you people are. When someone comes in here for advise it is not for you to be ignorant about it. The date I moved into this apartment was October 2003. If I put down the wrong number of time that I lived here, I apologize. I am on antidepressents and a number of other medicines due to stress and post tramatic stress disorder (from abuse and rape), and I have a very bad memory when it comes to certain things thanks to havng a large heavy cellar door hitting me in the head a few times when I had this problem at my old apartment, and I have a learning disablity. So forgive me if I am human and make mistakes. The LLT laws state that I am in the right to stop paying rent until things are fixed and up to code. But here in town there is nothin but slum lords and the new magistrate (sp) always sides with landlords and such. That is why I am on here for advice. As it goes with the lawyer, the last time I had one for this same kind of matter a few years back, they did nothing. I wasted my money and they lost most of my important paper work. This all goes to show how humans are the worst species on this planet. Thanx for nothing!

As for the post in June, for 2 yrs. residence, this is about the LAST apartment I lived in that was also red-tagged. I did not know how to bring up this certain one you are speaking of, (but now I do) and I was locked out illegally by that landlord. And it is the one that i was injured at. That is why it says "Old apartment". They are the ones who never gave back the security deposit or anything. This one I am speaking of now, is the current place I am living at. And I do not appreciate being called a liar. By you or your friends. If you would take the time to read things completely, and not jump to conclusions, you would know this. And with the comment of "dissappear once challenged with the facts ", it is because I do not live on this site, I have a life other than being on here. So, yeah, it took me a while to respond. The last time i was on here was on 12-11.

I had electric heaters in every room and used the stove to heat the kitchen. I couldnt just up and move due to my animals that are the major part of the business I am trying to start. The landlord finally came in and turned the furnace back on, but I am in the process of buying a home now, and hopefully I will move next month and will never deal with this kind of bull again. It is hard being a mother of 2 and trying to go to school and start a business plus deal with all of this. My kids deserve better and the only way to do it is to come up with the money and buy my own place. Like I said earlier, every landlord in this town are all slum lords and I will get no where renting, but an increase in stress. So, my only alternative is to walk away, again, and find another place to move to. (hopefully my OWN house this time)
