I don't really have additionial suggestions - Jo had some good ones - as to the landlord situation.

I'm glad you will be talking to that detective. He sounds like a good ally. Another thing i have heard of is people calling Legal Aid for stuff like this... i believe it is a free service, but i am very ignorant about that.... maybe someone else knows more on it... Or perhaps you can find it in the phone book or on the internet, and make a call to find out more.

Well, I'm rooting for you. There has to be a way to get them. Whatever you do, avoid direct confrontations, even if there are witnesses, or retaliatory actions, both of which could then be turned against you. Lying low and stockpiling evidence sounds like the best bet. It sounds like your friends there would be too scared to testify as witnesses as they are victims of the same rat that you are.

Is moving an option? Is it ok for me to ask why you still want to live there, with such bad blood running around? I think i would want to get out... but that is me.

If you don't want to answer, that is ok - there is no need to justify yourself. I understand that you do still want to live there whatever your reason, and regardless, you certainly have the right not to get treated the way you are being treated.

I am just asking because i would see moving as a very good alternative to living in such an environment as this. You are a brave woman.


hang in there!
