#TenantIssues #LeaseViolation #LandlordTroubles
Hey everyone! 👋 Have you ever experienced a situation where your landlord gave you a lease violation for something that hasn’t even happened yet? I recently had a run-in with my landlord in my trailer park, and it got me thinking about what my options are in this kind of scenario. Here’s what happened:
– Received a notice to cut my grass, even though I had just done it
– Asked for clarification and provided photographic evidence
– Landlord said it didn’t need to be mowed yet but still issued a notice for Monday
Does anyone else feel like this could be a form of harassment? 🤔 I’ve had similar issues with them before, like being told my flower garden was weeds and having to rip them out to avoid fines.
Possible solution:
– Document everything: Keep records of all communications and take photos to prove your case
– Seek legal advice: Consult with a tenant rights organization or lawyer to understand your rights and options
– Consider talking to other tenants: Are others facing similar issues? Strength in numbers could help address the problem collectively
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! 🌱 #RenterRights #LandlordTenantConflict #TenantEmpowerment
So it’s not harassment, legally, most likely, unless there’s a LOT more notices than you’ve mentioned. Harassment tends to have pretty specific requirements beyond just being somewhat obnoxious. That said, legally speaking, a notice doesn’t mean a whole lot. You would likely have recourse if they attempt to evict you for not paying fines for things that aren’t lease violations, or if they take money from you (if they have some form of direct debit) when you didn’t violate the lease. Your recourse in the meantime is to throw the notices away if you’re in compliance with the rules; the law generally won’t get involved until they actually take action and sending you a stupid notice doesn’t constitute taking action.
