My sister recently rented from this landlord. The landlord was very intrusive. He called me and was demanding personal information about her and her boyfriend (i.E. Their relationship, past relationships, etc) and even myself (i.E. How much did I buy my house for, why was I in Newton, how did I care for my family, etc). He got ahold of her bosses home phone number and proceeded to call him at home.
Eventually the calls turned into what seemed to be harassment. When he calls, he refuses to give his name and blocks his phone number, he proceeds to belittle the person he is talking to and insists that he 'knows people like them'. He made several comments to myself and my sister along the lines of needing to be the first to know about any changes in her personal life, he told her boyfriend that he would refer to him how ever he pleased because he was the boss.
She asked for an exterminator because the house had cockroaches and was refused.
After a month of the back and forth (yepp only a month) she began to look for a new landlord. Her new landlord had had dealings with Mr. Forster before. His friend was engaged and Mr. Forster said that he would rent to her only if she ditched her fiance. Another friend found him in her house when she got home going through her things.
Needless to say, she is in the process of moving. She moved in on July 1, after going through this ordeal, she got a new landlord to rent to her on July 23. Also, on July 23, she received an eviction notice in the mail. The notice said it was notarized (it hadn't even been signed), it wasn't, and it was 'post dated' to July 1. I advised her to keep the envelop it came in so that she would have record of the post date on it in the event he ever tries to take her to court.
