Rented a room in a multi-room home that was not finished (floors still plywood, kitchen was not finished, paint was disaster all over walls, spiderwebs and more). Rented the place in good faith that the landlord would get construction underway promptly. Over 65 days passed and finally landlord did floors and made the area more "habitable". Still missing screen doors and a proper kitchen sink; not a utility sink. Landlord didn't think it was appropriate to adjust rent to compensate for the area not being finished. He also would not reimburse me for any paint purchased to paint the area. I improved it for free basically. Kept asking for repairs and he would not do them. He entered my area and took the microwave out without my consent. Yes, he trespassed and broke in and stole the microwave out claiming he was within his rights considering the microwave was his and that it was only a temporary deal for me. He calls for Impromptu meetings at both his house and my house where he demanded that I and my housemates be present. He would bang on our doors to wake us up on a Saturday. He started getting agitated because of the repairs we kept asking him for so he then called my parents to "tell on me" and proceeded to call everyone's employers in an effort to get us in trouble with work. He threatened our reputations, character and credit if we didn't comply with his frivolous demands. He has been retaliating against me in several ways. I am now moving after 4 months of hell. I had to call the police on him already as he thought he could just come over anytime he wanted. I have TONS of emails and text messages showing him in the wrong. He cut the power off on my unit to get my attention not to mention that he cut our water off last week because he didn't pay the bill. I feel I have enough info on this guy to really put him in his place. All I need is an attorney to take it on. Constructive Eviction; not going home for the holidays because I am afraid of what he will do to my living area and/or dog. He threatened to find my new residence so he could intentionally sabotage me and my life. I don't tolerate bullies or slumlords.
