After landlord made several verbal agreements and didn't hold her end of the agreement and misrepresentations and entered the premises without making prior arrangements and leaving premises unlocked and insecure I decided to terminate my lease and leave. I have been robbed from before and am very sensitive to being secure. I called and made arrangements to leave and gave Barbara 25 days notice so that she would have time to get another tenant. We made a verbal agreement over the phone for terms that would be mutually beneficial. We also agreed that she would make an appointment to come show the place prior to entering. The very next day she served me with papers to leave in 3 days. She also entered the house with out even a phone call to let me know she was coming in. I put the original locks back on the doors that were on the house when I moved in assuming she had the keys for them (the locks were changed due to a roommate moving out and keys were given to Barbara at the time). She then called me the next day saying she was breaking in. So my friend and I came over to see what was going on and called the cops. I explained the situation to them and they did nothing. I am a nanny and had a toddler that I was watching with me and Barbara proceeded to scream and holler at me calling me trash and a bitch in front of the toddler! I called the cops again fearing for my safety and the safety of the toddler and they showed up and for the second time would do nothing. My friend who was staying with me for a couple weeks while he was between leaving his apartment and purchasing a condo told Barbara's daughter that he wanted to try to come to some kind of agreement with her and to let her know he wanted to talk to her. Shortly after he got to my place after work that night she showed up. He tried to negotiate with her and explained we would be out on the dates originally agreed upon and just could not be out that night like she demanded. She then said she would burn the place down and collect the insurance before that long. The next day when we got home she had changed the locks. We called the cops to see what we could do about it as this is highly illegal but they said they couldn't do anything. We got in through a window that the lock was not completely latched and the whole house reeked of diesel fuel. Also the outside lights which worked fine the night before were bunt out or removed and there was a gas can out back. I found a rope that I had that she had soaked in diesel fuel and placed in the closet with my friends nice clothes and suits. After her threats to burn the place down I was scared for our safety and again called the cops. They again did nothing. At the time she broke into the premises she also rummaged through all my things and I now have a pair of diamond ear rings missing. She also went through my friend's file cabinet looking through all his bank statements and personal information. She then threatened to try to mess with his condo purchase and to take money out of his accounts. She has also called my employer for the toddler that I watch and said I was the one screaming and threatening her trying to get me fired. I would recommend anyone to stay far far away from someone who is so immature and irrational and rude.
